I accept that. I thank the Minister of State. Amendment No. 394 relates to section 47(2)(b). We had the discussion before when we talked about transport and active travel, etc. It is about the word "promotion". It is a very weak word. We talked about it in relation to promotion of climate action. I feel we are a decade beyond promoting this. It really requires implementation, controls or actions rather than just promotion. The Minister of State will be well aware and more aware than most that our water quality is in serious decline. Is the promotion of compliance with the objectives, for example, of the water framework directive, strong enough wording in a strategy? Should it not be measures to control or measures to implement compliance?
