Carbon Budget 1 and Net Zero Wales - scrutiny of the Minister for Climate Change
Yes. We could, and we are making these points in reports that we've published in the past, and no doubt we'll still be making them in future reports, regrettably. But, certainly, anything we can do to encourage action on that front, we will.
