My Lords, I am sorry that the noble Lord did not give way, because I wanted to ask him this question. In his first sentence, he managed to speak to the amendment before us. He then went off on a tangent. In relation to impact assessment, has he, like me

My Lords, does my noble friend agree that the events in the Middle East and the renewed shock to oil and gas prices show why we should be self-sufficient, which is why we should enormously welcome the development of offshore wind off the coast of Wales?

It is interesting that at the moment the Government are trying to get the NHS to have an additional allocation to community health services in the planning guidelines. But all indications are that it is not happening, because the integrated care boards
