I thank the Minister for offering a briefing. I am not clear on whether the Government was briefed about the particular decision of 19 March to develop at Hinkley Point. The Minister has mentioned the RPII's assessment, but at what point was this made public? There seems to be an onus under the Aarhus Convention and the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context to also consult the public. We have very little time in concluding this issue because 29 March is the deadline set for that decision. I want to be precise about this.
