Perhaps I should have expected the debate to move on to the noble Baroness, Lady Scott, stating everything else that she does not like about this Bill and the bits of things that she does like. In the end, it is important that we keep in mind throughout this Bill that we are trying to balance democracy, sustainability, infrastructure being built and taking a proportionate approach to it. Sometimes that is lost in this Bill, but I accept that this amendment will not make a substantive difference to the Bill and I beg leave to withdraw it.
