Hello [Pasodoff]

My past experience in Parliament has taught me that things don’t always boil down to as neat a yes or no answer as one would sometimes like. (e.g. a carbon price mechanism is crucial, but only within an effective framework). However, I understand why you might prefer to just get a clear yes/no response, so I’ll go with that - I can of course elaborate further on any of these if you wish.

My answers are below. 

Regards 

Andrew Bartlett
