Would the Minister not agree that in accepting the proposals that the Community set up an inspectorate he would have come full circle? When his party were in Opposition they did not find this proposal adequate but now that he is on the other side of the House and Minister for Energy he believes that it is adequate. Is this the reason he has not proceeded with the court case against the British on the escape of waste at Sellafield?

I thought we had dealt with that question.

I would not place any limits on what I might do from time to time. We are dealing with one consideration. If there are other such incidents we will examine them in due course.

Question No 13, please.

The Minister has mellowed in power.

I have any limitations.

In fairness, he was not in the House when the other nonsense was going on.

I regret that very much.

So do we.
