Of course I accept that this is a genuine effort to get the balance right. But it is difficult to understand that there has to be flexibility with regard to the thresholds—which I have sought to preserve although perhaps not in an elegant or correct way—but not enough to respond to developments in technology; because thresholds is capacity by another term. Perhaps I am not sufficiently imaginative about what new projects there might be as distinct from capacity. That is very much what I am driving at in these amendments. I do not know whether the Minister has anything more to say.
