On a point of order, as I understand it, we are here to discuss the transition statement given that, as is set out in the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015, there is a requirement for the Government to present a report each year. We are debating it tonight but I was told today, when I asked the Department where that statement was, that we would have it tomorrow. It should be noted that this is not an acceptable way of doing business or an acceptable way of treating the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015. In fact, I even question our timing and whether we are within the provisions of that Act. The Minister needs to explain, in his contribution, why we do not have that statement in advance of us debating the statement.
