I have a question about civil aviation which is relevant to all of the programmes. It concerns carbon reduction across each section. I appreciate that the Minister has referred to the issue, but I would not necessarily expect him to have the detail with him. What is the policy of the Department in interacting with all of the transport agencies. For example, the airports have a huge carbon footprint. What mitigating steps are being taken? How does the Department deal with the issue of carbon reduction?
