I will return to Mr. Griffin on the matter.

On the underspend, there is considerable urgency attached to the matter of tackling climate change. I will not start to quote figures as Mr. Griffin is familiar with them. It is our greatest challenge; everything else pales in comparison. We will not be crawling or walking if we do not face up to the issue of climate change. How, therefore, could there have been an underspend, particularly when the Department is rolling out such wonderful initiatives? Will Mr. Griffin elaborate on the matter of sustainable energy communities? It is a wonderful idea which is mentioned on page 39 of the Department's annual report.
