I wish to clarify something. I appreciate that everything has to be done properly and in the context of ecological constraints and so forth. Most of this is going on existing sheds, so there is just the issue of the on-the-ground stuff. The glare issue has come up in the UK and that has been covered, so it is not as if we have to reinvent the wheel in that regard. To clarify, we are waiting for the ecology report to come back and we do not know when that is due. Have we to wait for that to come back before starting the public consultation? If that is the case, how long will the public consultation be? After the public consultation is finished, what is the timeline then? We are being asked these questions all the time, so I am putting them to the Minister of State.
