Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:29 pm on 14 February 2017.
Diolch, Lywydd. Can I begin by thanking Members for their very constructive contributions to this important debate today? It’s rare that we have agreement right across the Chamber over the principles of many energy projects, given the contentious nature of onshore wind and nuclear energy, but I think on this issue there has been strong cross-party agreement. As my colleague the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs said during her opening of this debate, the Welsh Government very much welcomes the Hendry report, and I share the sentiments of others who see this as an exemplary inquiry and report. The process has been conducted in the greatest possible fashion by Charles Hendry.
