The Member will be aware that this is a live licence and that, as such, this is a matter for Natural Resources Wales. They are the licensing authority, and I'm  limited in what I can say about particular marine licences, given the Welsh Ministers' statutory role under the regime. I'm very grateful to have that opportunity, as I said, to set out the process. I understand there's going to be a debate next week also, but I just want to reassure people that NRW have made their determination based on expert advice in line with the radiological assessment procedure developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
