Huge work is going on between the three organisations and other organisations I know of. It is all very positive. Obviously, there is also a cost to business, and we must keep an eye on the pressures on business. The corporate sustainability report and directive is bringing in a lot of challenges for business. Some of it is very positive but we must watch that.

Mr. Griffiths mentioned the role of the co-ordination of Government Departments. From my experience - and Deputy Bruton's might be similar - it is always useful in Government Departments if there is one senior person who is focused on something like that and would co-ordinate it within each Department and between them. I am thinking of an assistant secretary or someone like that. Is that happening in any Government Department at present?
