So one thing I am hoping to hear from the Government today is a little more detail, before we get to Part 3, about how decisions will be made in reality on significant areas of the country where some compulsory purchase may have been done, according to the powers in the Bill. Will that really not be taken into account? Should we not be trying to make sure that we achieve the primary aim of the Environment Act 2021 and our international treaties, which the Government are quite rightly very fond of? I am thinking in particular of the GBF, negotiated three years ago. Those are the sorts of issues that I would have thought the Government would welcome being in the Bill.
