My noble friend Lord Blencathra has an important point, though: that the Government must ensure value for money at all times. Amendment 27, also from my noble friend, is also rightly focused on ensuring value for money. Perhaps it would be a good have detailed costs before the planning is approved. Indeed, the Government will have these details, so it seems only fair that the public are made aware of the planned costs, and I hope the Minister will listen to my noble friend and respond to his concerns about these costs.
