For example, on Stonehenge, under the new rules we are debating, if somebody had already challenged the environmental aspects, that would restrict the opportunity for other people to bring a judicial review on something completely different that has nothing to do with the environment—whether it was about roads, archaeology or so on. I can assure the noble Viscount that I have spent plenty of time sat on the A303 just after the roundabout after Amesbury, waiting while lots of rubbernecking is going on about how marvellous it is, and it is marvellous. I am nervous about certain aspects—not necessarily using the A303 as a great example—of what we are doing in our understandable desire to build, whether it is homes or other infrastructure. We are almost creating this fortress which will, in effect, allow the Government to build anywhere and everywhere they want regardless of the consequences.
