Three and a half years down, with at least three and a half years to go—at best seven years of not building—these enemies of growth have no regard for the wider economy and the plasterers, plumbers, carpenters and tilers. I totally support my noble friend Lady Coffey with all her amendments and my noble friend Lady McIntosh in saying that we need a different approach to this. Supporting a single organisation to do all those multifarious things cannot be right, especially when its track record is one of ignorance of the science and the mendacity to misinterpret it—not just to the public but to Ministers, the industry and everybody else.
