I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive report. I pass on the apologies of Deputy Neville for his absence. In fairness to him, he is next door at a meeting of the Committee on Climate Action, which may be holding votes. It began its meeting at 2 p.m. today. I am also a member of that committee, but arranged for another Deputy to attend in my place. Deputy Neville is an avid member of this committee and attends almost all meetings. For those watching the proceedings who may think that very few members are in attendance, members are coming and going.
