In light of the answers that you gave to Monica Lennon, Auditor General, I was thinking about the 2030 emissions targets. Is the Government now in a good place to reach those 2030 targets?

So, you have not done any work on those targets; you have listened to what others have said.

Did you find any good practice in some of the other devolved nations that we could copy in Scotland?

Sorry, convener—

You mentioned transparency earlier. If the Government is not going to hit the targets, the sooner it is more open with everyone, the better, I would imagine.

I want to ask about the joint report that was carried out last year with the National Audit Office, Audit Wales and the Northern Ireland Audit Office on approaches to achieving net zero across the UK. From that work, how do you feel that the UK and Scottish Governments are working together on this?

That would be helpful.

Were any specific actions recommended in that report? You have mentioned the grid and the greater need for electricity as we move away from oil and gas, but did that report highlight any specific actions with regard to how the Governments might work together?

Politics often gets in the way and the four nations are often seen to be at loggerheads, but, underneath that, is there quite a good level of working together?

So you do not feel that a pathway has been set. If it is not set, do you think that the Scottish Government will meet the emissions targets that it has set for itself in law?
