I want to raise a number of other points. There is no option for outside organisations like environmental bodies. Some of those bodies have played quite an important role. I found them useful. We had some of them in at the pre-legislative stage of the climate change Bill. We received fascinating insights and information from people. One that sticks out was Board Watch, which was a particular highlight. It does not appear, however, that environmental bodies will be part of the preparation of contingency planning. Is that an oversight? Is it needed and, if so, has it been thought about?
