Subhead E12 relates with the just transition. The amount of money involved does not appear to be overly large. Was there a high demand for that project? I understand that the expressions of interest and call relating to that funding occurred midway through the year. Was there big interest in the fund? Is there scope to expand it, as per the climate action fund, because just transition should be a major component of how we will address climate change? I understand that this is just a pilot project at present. Are there plans to scale it up significantly in line with the increases in the climate action fund?
