I certainly will. It is a matter for the Government to decide how it will implement the plan, but the Committee on Budgetary Oversight should know how much it will cost to implement it. For example, how much will it cost to retrofit the current housing stock in the country? How much will it cost to implement a carbon tax? How might it be implemented? These are reasonable questions. How much will it cost the Exchequer if we push people away from using petrol and diesel? That is something we need to do, but there would be a loss of revenue to the Exchequer. These are basic questions that, with respect, Mr. Maughan and his team should be able to answer. The Department cannot publish a plan such as the one that was published yesterday and not have information on costings. That is utterly ridiculous and makes our job impossible. The Government definitely has to decide.
