If Lincoln applies for a pilot and it goes ahead, will there not be intolerable pressure on West Lindsey next door?

Friend is a very able Minister and that he is working very hard, but his arguments do not stack up. Frankly, even God took a rest on the seventh day. My hon. Friend should just sit down, rest his case and withdraw the measure.
