There is also the issue of housing. Chapters 13 and 15 of the commission’s report concern the need to move to a low-carbon economy and address the area of public health in general. I have a question on an area that links those two areas. It has supposedly been a Government priority since 2018 and there is almost universal agreement on it, not only by industry but also the Government. I refer to the need to move to more modern methods of construction. Does TASC have any view on that? We know the environmental benefits but there is also the fact that so many people are living in poorly insulated homes and the impact that has too.
