How does that work in practical terms? Does the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications present a line Minister with a set of options and he or she then goes off and negotiates with Cabinet colleagues, who have similar options? For example, if the transport sector has a target of 52% and the energy sector has a target of 82%, what is the starting point for the relevant Ministers' negotiations? I understand that accountability lies with the Ministers.
