Mr. Kevin Meaney:

The work was already ongoing. We had colleagues from the OECD supporting on that and looking at international best practice, and the work was ongoing at that point. The review by the Secretaries General was very around some of the early dialogue on that balance between what is a robust, sensible consideration at an early stage weighed against the need to deliver some vital projects. The climate work was ongoing. In terms the shadow price of carbon, one of the rationales for why a lot of the technical material is on the side is that targets are changing quite regularly and we are regularly updating the issues based on the up-to-date targets-----
