If one is putting forward something as a matter of urgency and it is of national strategic importance, that is not going to come in under every single particular issue that arises. The question will be whether it is urgent and is a matter of national strategic importance. These are decisions the Government will have to make and as part of that, it will consult the Office of the Planning Regulator. The Minister will bring it forward but he or she cannot do it without the approval of the Cabinet. I have nothing more really to add to that.
