I ask the Minister to elaborate on the introduction of E10 fuels and the handling of that. There are reports in the media this morning of concern in various quarters regarding the implications of its introduction as well as the communications around it. It is important that people would be aware and would content themselves that it is a change that is coming and what it will mean for themvis-à-vis their vehicles or other equipment like lawn mowers, strimmers and so on.
On a related point, I am interested in the wider role of biofuels and alternative fuels for hard-to-electrify transport, particularly heavy-goods transport. What supports will be in place in that context? How does the Minister see the transition there?
