In respect of the energy upgrade for schools and the pathfinder programme, a further 14 schools were announced for inclusion. When will those schools be notified that they are part of that programme? Obviously, the free solar panels we are putting onto schools throughout the country are beneficial in the context of their energy requirements, but the energy retrofits will be quite important as well in order that children will be in warm, energy-efficient classrooms. This will help facilitate children's education. It will also help schools when it comes to energy bills.
