That answers my second question to some extent. I was about to ask about forecasting in the context of a disorderly Brexit but obviously that work has been done. We all hope that it will be a soft Brexit.

I am a member of the Joint Committee on Climate Action which published its all-party report recently, ahead of the launch by the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment of his all-of-Government plans. Climate action is the issue of this generation and if we did not have Brexit to contend with, it would be top of the agenda. I ask the Minister to outline the financial implications in the longer term of our approach to climate action in light of the committee's report and the forthcoming announcement from the Minister, Deputy Bruton.
