I welcome the changes made to the delivery board but that board is essentially focusing on projects we have already signed up to. The reality is there are huge infrastructural bottlenecks that were not anticipated because of the change of expectations. We are now trying to deliver a 51% reduction in emissions, for example. That is much more ambitious than what we had previously. We need to embrace changes in land use, which will be a major challenge for farmers and others if we do not have significant investment programmes to back it up. The Department needs to think more fundamentally about what is changing in the world around us and how that plan needs to respond to those changes.
