We do not know that. There was a Cabinet meeting earlier but I have not heard any news of it. It was expected the heads of the climate change Bill would be discussed. There was media speculation about this but I cannot say with certainty whether targets will be set in that legislation. While the proposal is related, the Bill is a separate issue. I am no more a party to what the Bill contains than the Deputy, other than what was speculated in the media yesterday. That should not colour whether the committee writes to the Secretary General about this proposal.
