Well, the pipe may be up and running, but it seems that it may be running through a site that has no legal right to operate. A press release sent out on Friday makes clear that National Grid have not applied for a Hazardous Substances Consent to operate the Felindre Compressor site.
So by opening a valve on this very same site last Tuesday, a senior UK Government Minister may well have done so in breach of the law...oops.
Nothing new there then.
Given that they've produced a leaflet making clear that they do require a consent, it'll be interesting to see how they wriggle out of their much vaunted commitment to public safety this time...
