The Minister of State said he would check the ten-year network development plan. One has not been published since 2021, which, I would point out, is in breach of SI 16/2015 - European Communities (Internal Market in Natural Gas and Electricity) (Amendment) Regulations 2015. We are dragging our feet on this issue. The Minister of State is not going to accept the amendments; I get that. It is deeply disappointing. You cannot talk about an emergency and then not act like there is an emergency, which there is when it comes to gas connections of data centres.
