That is good. I would tend to agree that the appetite is there. It is sometimes a case of letting people know that they need not be as worried as they might be and there is a bit of help there.

In that vein, can I ask about the supports that are in place? I refer to the preliminary supports, such as the climate action voucher. Are they working as a funnel to get businesses in, nearly as a hook? Then, when they are in, are the organisations able to expand the training and engagement? Are they keeping the businesses engaged? We all agree that nobody wants this to be a tick-box exercise. There has to be a continuation. It cannot simply be the case that someone will have done that course, got to the end of it, hit return, ticked the box, did the feedback, said the lunch was lovely and then were gone. It has to be a longer-term thing. Does what exists at the moment act as a hook? I am focusing particularly on small to medium-sized enterprises because a different challenge faces larger businesses. In terms of SMEs, are the vouchers working to get people in, to hook them in and then continue on that journey with them?
