For once, I can give way—to my hon. Friend the Member for Belfast East (Gavin Robinson) first.

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important Adjournment debate. As he travels from his home to his office along the Portaferry Road, he will know of not only the picturesque beauty of Strangford lough, but the energy there that could and should be captured. But is my hon. Friend prepared for the tidal wave and potential tsunami of interventions that may come in this debate?

I like to think I am well prepared for most things. Whenever those interventions come, I will be happy to give way.
