I thank the Minister and his officials for their attendance. Has the Minister come to any conclusions in respect of defining what is meant by low-carbon targets? As some people are suggesting 80% and others have suggested a figure of between 80% or 90%, the Minister might indicate whether he has come to any conclusions in this regard. In addition, has the Minister made progress on how each Department might try to meet its own specific targets? Will a set of rules be put in place? Has the Minister given consideration to setting up an international climate fund, as have other counties?
