I propose to take Questions Nos. 8 and 14 together.

Issues relevant to planning in our maritime area and marine development are discussed, as required, at a number of Cabinet Committees. This could include the Cabinet Committee on Economic Recovery and Investment, the Cabinet Committee on the Environment and Climate Change and the Cabinet Committee on Europe.

Planning issues in relation to infrastructure and housing issues in our land area are also discussed as required at a number of Cabinet Committees. This could include the Cabinet Committee on Economic Recovery and Investment, the Cabinet Committee on the Environment and Climate Change and the Cabinet Committee on Housing.

As with all policy areas, issues arising in relation to planning (both marine and on land) and marine development are also regularly discussed at full Government meetings and that is where all formal decisions are made.

In addition to meetings of the Cabinet and Cabinet Committees, I regularly meet with relevant Ministers, to discuss particular issues, as well as with representatives of the relevant sectors.
