Planning Bill

My Lords, I hesitate to intervene before my noble friend sits down, especially on Report, when we should be on our best behaviour, but will he remind the noble Duke, the Duke of Montrose, who made a very interesting and informative contribution to our debates, as he often does, that offshore wind farms produce about 25 per cent of their rated capacity, much of which would be lost in the underwater cables that the noble Duke proposes and that more would be lost when we got to the grid? That suggests that we should not rush too madly into proposing any more offshore wind farms.
