What a horribly disjointed debate we have had. Let us hope the groupings are a bit better in the future. I am grateful to the Minister for what he has said. It seems a little odd that there should be confusion regarding nationally significant infrastructure projects. I question whether Part 3 ought to be entitled ““Nationally significant infrastructure projects””—perhaps it should refer to infrastructure projects for England. I am grateful to the Minister for explaining the procedure. The changes to the devolution arrangements will doubtless come in a few years’ time. I have no intention of upsetting them under this Bill—they will arise for different reasons.
I hope that the Government will work very closely with the Scottish Government when it comes to cross-border issues. It was quite clear when we looked at the draft marine Bill that there were considerable problems between the Scottish and Westminster Governments on maritime issues. I hope that the Minister will bear that in mind and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
