Thank you, Minister. You will be aware, of course, of the widespread public and political concern regarding the opening of the Barry incinerator, which had adverse impacts on the local population during its pre-commissioning phase. We also await the review of permitting by the future generations commissioner as well. It is important that we have a timeline on your decision, and would you agree with me that it's inappropriate that the company should be claiming that the biomass incinerator will be opening by the end of this year when we still haven't had your decision about the environmental impact assessment?
