Mr. Kevin Brady:

The question was about the three-week consultation period on the long-term strategy. It is important to put this in context. This is part of the wider governance regulation from the European Commission which became law at the end of last year. The process commenced with the publication of the draft national energy and climate plan, NECP, and the detailed consultation that took place on it at the start of this year. That is a ten-year plan. The plan must be revised with another draft plan in 2023 and a revised plan in 2024. Then we must work forward and have a more detailed plan for 2031 to 2040. There will be another ten-year plan after that. As part of this process, that consultation took place at the start of the year. Then we had the Government's climate action plan. This piece now is the look forward, as it were. It is a high-level plan, so it is nowhere near as detailed as the NECP. However, it is part of that process. This is the final leg which is the look forward.
