I accept the Minister of State's explanation for the removal of drilling and the extraction of oil or natural gas from the legislation. He has explained that fairly and well. However, I do not understand why bespoke materials do not come under the scope of the legislation. The Minister of State indicated on Second Stage that he understood that it would be a necessary measure and that he was minded to consider it and to expand the scope of the legislation. It will make a nonsense of the new measures if suppliers and contractors who provide bespoke materials find themselves burnt and unable to get a remedy.
