-----there are also issues in terms of the back-up gas generators. Will the Minister comment on the recommendation there should be no further gas connections given to data centres that might come through?

I want to focus on two other issues. It would be really good if the committee could get it in writing that specific piece which is the employment within data centres explicitly, not within the industry, and what people would like. We have had an ICT sector for a long time and it is here for a lot of different reasons but it would be useful to know the statistic, not in the creation of, building of or the companies that like to use data centres.
