I have had enough. I will conclude on climate change, which has come under Mr. Griffin's Department's remit. We are aware of all the reports on climate change. We have seen the most recent recommendations from the Citizens' Assembly begging us for leadership and pointing out that all sorts of measures could be taken. The members of the Citizens' Assembly are happy to pay increased taxes and consider carbon tax and so on. What leadership has Mr. Griffin's Department shown regarding the challenge of climate change? Where can I identify the money set aside in this regard? I see the expenditure on measures relating to energy and I see underspends in respect of various items.
