It is additional funding. Sorry, can I just check—is the £5 million core funding for the climate action hubs?

Yes. It has told us that it is appropriately resourced.

At the tail end of last year, the CCC was working on its advice to the UK Government and, as soon as it had finished that particular tranche of advice, it was going to move on to work on the advice to us. I discussed the issue with Emma Pinchbeck in December, but she already knew about it, because she had keenly followed the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Bill’s consideration by this committee and by the Parliament. The CCC heard our calls and the committee’s calls for the timely provision of advice, and it is now in a position to say that it will provide its advice in about the third week in May.

I will double-check, but I am pretty certain that we do not.

No, it has not.

There are a couple of things. Are you referring to the net zero assessment of the budget or the financial risk assessment?

I would probably have to write to the committee to give more detail on that. I have a couple of things in my mind, but I will wait and give the committee the detail on that, rather than speculate.

I am just having a look at some of the other potential budget lines on participation. I will have to write to the committee with that information, because it is a level of detail that I do not have immediately in front of me. There is quite a lot of climate action funding in different tranches and different budget lines that can be applied for by whoever wants to apply for it. I may not be doing it justice by not having the detail in front of me, so I will follow up with the committee in writing.

Not at this point.

This is the first iteration. I talked about some parts of the work that have made it into this year’s budget, but it is by no means finished. Next year, there will be a ramping up of that work. As a result of the climate change plan deliberations, we will have a lot more information on the emissions reduction aspects. I will have to work very closely with my Cabinet colleagues, because a lot of the action in the climate change plan will take place across a number of portfolios.

The pilot happened in time for this year, and we have the actions that I set out in the document, which I believe the committee has a copy of, but I do not see that as an end result. We need to have more granular detail of the type that you suggest.

I got a little confused when Michael Matheson asked me about the other work earlier. I think that your question is about the agreement in the joint budget review, through which we are trying to improve the information on the climate impact of the Government’s spend. Is that right?
