I have two questions. First, can the council go into more detail about the recommendation to bring legal mandates to public bodies in accordance with the 2021 Act in the context of carbon budgets 3 and 4. I know we did this with the National Biodiversity Action Plan when we put a biodiversity duty on public bodies. It is really important to get that recommendation brought forward as quickly as possible.

My second question is more of a curious one. The CCAC tends to call for a lot of things from the Government. Is it frustrated at the slow pace of response from the political system? That is a general question.
