Such behaviour does not get us anywhere. I want answers to the three questions I have asked. We have a role. We are perfectly placed to represent our constituents and give our views on the proposals and on the various alternatives. I agree with Deputy Howlin. We need a place to debate it that does not involve just scoring petty political points but looks at the options and considers what is the best engineering solution. We must decide this on good engineering, financial and planning analysis. Where could we have that debate?
