I will not keep her long. I will pick up on the point about LNG. There seems to be a suggestion that LNG terminals actually increase security, which is not the case because those boats are sailing around and can go where they want. Surely the point is to reduce demand and the need for the gas in the first place. We keep having the circular argument that brings us back to the point that we have to reduce demand.

I was going to come in on the nuclear point but I think Ms Donnelly has answered that question. I just wanted to make the point that LNG terminals do not increase security and it is a bit of a non-argument in terms of energy security. It would be different if she had a different view on the infrastructure and so on. Does she support the view that LNG does not necessarily increase energy security?
