I took the challenge from the noble Baroness, Lady Scott, of showing the outcomes here; I am sure that she will return to those with me in future. If we are going to make some progress with brownfield sites, we need to take some action that will enable those sites to be built on. I am also grateful to the noble Baroness for her comments on what is being done in relation to brownfield sites. We will consult on a revised framework this year; it will make consideration of brownfield a material consideration in the planning process. I hope that this and the instigation of the brownfield passport, which we will come on to imminently, reassure the noble Baroness that we do not intend to park this or ignore it.
