It is impossible to know because while the heat sector, electricity and likely agriculture are reducing, transport is likely to increase slightly - one may net off the other – but the very rough, back of the envelope calculations we were doing in the office yesterday was something in the 4% to 5% emissions reduction that we might expect. We are not at the end of the year yet, so this is purely speculative. However, it is that sort of reduction that we might expect if what we have seen so far this year continues to the end of the year. It could be larger. We do not have some of the figures for industry yet on some of the other gases and so on so it is a purely speculative number but it is the sort of ballpark I would expect at the moment.
