I am anxious not to repeat comments made in Committee. I also want to stress that my amendment refers to the large, Amazon generic type of retailer that is not represented on the high street. I am not focusing my amendment on the Marks & Spencers of this world, which have a huge and vital high street presence but also have fulfilment centres in warehouse locations that deal with their internet retailing and supplies; they are very different beasts. The Marks & Spencers of this world provide the cohesion, the glue and a lot of the attraction to the high street for local communities. They are not the target of the definition for a new use class that I would like to see constructed for the warehouse retailing giants.
