I propose to take Questions Nos. 17 to 24, inclusive, together.

The Cabinet committee on environment and climate change last met on 31 May 2021 and is scheduled to meet again on 1 July 2021. This Cabinet committee oversees the implementation of the ambitious programme for Government commitments in regard to the environment and climate change. Those commitments are reflected in the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021, which is now progressing through the legislative process. The committee also oversees implementation of the current climate action plan and the interim climate actions for 2021, as well as the work that is now under way to develop an updated climate action plan. In addition, the committee considers other aspects of environmental policy, including, for example, in regard to investment in water services and water quality.
