On page 3 of his presentation, Mr. McDonald cites the fact that the UK Government again wrote a letter in December 2016. The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy reiterated its view that Hinckley was not likely to cause a significantly adverse impact and that it was not required to undertake transboundary consultation under the Espoo Convention. Mr. McDonald also says that the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment responded by letter on 2 March. Was that 2 March 2017?
