Yes, the independent experts have said that targets will be difficult to meet, but we are not at 2025 yet. It is up to the Government to accelerate delivery as regards climate action, which is exactly what we are setting about doing. We have broken it up sector by sector. A lot of those targets are difficult to meet, but the Government has been transparent about how we will go about this. It is not easy, but this Government is more ambitious for climate action than any Government we have seen in the past, and we will go after those targets.
