Time is limited, but there are many more fundamental design questions and processes I could ask about before we even get to the start line, and it would have been much more helpful, in my view. I thank the noble Lord, Lord Krebs, for his detailed diagram, which has been circulated this morning. That diagram would have been much better had there been a timeline before then, because it assumes the EDP exists. As my noble friend Lord Lucas said, it is probably at least three and a half, possibly as many as five years until we get to that start line. Noble Lords need to understand that.
