Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. I will stay on the theme of planning consultations. Shared Environmental Services (SES) is simply not responding to consultations — it is just not doing it; it has stopped — and that is, literally, killing agriculture, building and development. Minister, is it answerable to you, or is it following your guidelines? What is happening with that organisation?
