Has it been considered that there is a case to constantly monitor, in forensic detail, where the missed targets are and whether that should then, in the feedback mechanism, influence the type of Government spending and policy decisions that are made? To link into the point the Minister made around the public spending code and the need to finesse it and ensure it is climate-sensitive, based on his opening statement, we are some way off that. Is it envisaged that those two questions would be matched together? When will the new public spending code be updated and how will it be influenced by our climate targets?
