Mr. Mark Griffin:

I disagree with him. We have a long-term energy strategy that we have just published for public consultation that looks at gas and energy security of supply. That is out for public consultation to look at what we need to do on the gas and electricity fronts, having regard to the fact that we are an island nation and the UK is no longer a member of the EU. In fact, we did an energy White Paper in 2007 and another in 2015. Short-term, medium-term and long-term energy planning is, therefore, a constant issue for the Department and one we take very seriously.
