My point follows on from the previous one. The general approach we need to take is that the country turns and changes when we are all working in a certain direction. We need to triple the level of ambition for climate action in the same way we have just tripled the price for carbon in our public procurement assessment in the political system. We need to triple our level of investment on this issue in our public administrative system. If we do that collectively, we can turn things around. We are showing that we are good at it.

What is the role of Mr. Watt's Department in the assessment or drafting of the new energy and climate action plan that we have to do under EU governance?
