I am next on the speaking rota. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for the work they are doing. I am interested in the scope of incentivising and accelerating decarbonisation and the digital transition, which is a fundamental part of this legislation. The IDA in particular is dealing with large multinationals. Is there a strong request coming from them for grant aid to support work they do on sustainability and so on? Why would the taxpayer be supplementing extraordinarily successful and profitable businesses, by and large, or is it the case that there is a more mixed picture in that regard? That is my first question, which is for the IDA.
