This amendment is around the decommissioning of gas pipelines. It proposes that as well as during construction, health and safety measures should be accounted for during disconnection, decommissioning or repurposing. In other words, this amendment emphasises the point that in construction and in use are not the only two states in which a pipe can exist. They can also be disconnected, decommissioned and repurposed. It is important that safety is accounted for as disconnection, decommissioning and repurposing is likely to become more common in line with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon budgets if we are to meet our 2030 targets. Sin é. It is straightforward enough.
