Ms Caroline Timmons:

To assist my colleagues, I will start with first with national piece on existing buildings and embodied carbon. It will make sense to then move on to my colleagues. I highlight the climate change sectoral adaptation plan. Obviously, the Deputy has just met with my colleagues, who are experts in this area. They alerted us to this. In the plan for built archaeological heritage there will be a life-cycle assessment report. That will take a step-by-step approach to assessing embodied and life-cycle emissions involved in the retrofitting of existing buildings. That will highlight the contribution of reuse of the existing building stock. It will build on some of the research that is already there, which shows that existing buildings are going to out-perform new buildings in that respect. That will be coming forward. I am that will then be of use to the local authority sector. I will hand over to my colleague.
