Amendment No. 10 refers to the need to "address the necessity of adaptation to climate change". During a flooding incident a couple of year ago, the Minister made a big announcement that was publicised by a newspaper. He said he intended to introduce the national adaptation strategy earlier than intended, but it is late at this stage, in fact. When will we see the strategy? If the Minister wants county councils to produce local adaptation strategies, the national strategy needs to be available.
