I thank the witnesses. To tease this out, I take it that the relatively narrow remit of the report is because there were not clear enough indications from the Government on what it will do on public transport. To be clear I am completely on board with retrofitting, solar power and renewable energy. I am sceptical about the focus on electric cars as a way to go. I will also throw in another issue that may be covered by the next item. This is the inclusion of what are known as care jobs as green jobs. These are jobs in childcare, healthcare and education. These are jobs that are inherently very low carbon but produce a lot of benefit for society. Increasingly they are included in the definition of "green jobs" and appropriately so. I encourage the witnesses to include them in the next reports they do.
