On system change, the recent report by the Committee on Climate Change, entitled Land Use: Reducing Emissions and Preparing for Climate Change, is very impressive and relevant for us in Ireland, even though we have different agricultural systems. Am I right in reading that the UK is going towards a national land use plan? It would deal with where forestry is located, what type of farming there is and where that farming occurs. Does Lord Deben think it is useful and important to have such a land use plan as part of how we manage climate change?
