I am heartened to hear that we will be given more details on the matter. I would have been worried to learn that the Minister had accepted the document before me as a progress report. I will examine the detailed information for proposals on carrying out a health impact assessment and the rationale for selecting a company called CDM Smith, which is on the public record as acting as a cheerleader for the fracking industry.

One bit of information that came from the alleged progress report is that approximately 20 reports will be produced over the coming two years. Will the Minister of State ensure that each and every one of those reports is brought before the committee for consideration?
