I might come back again on that one. For example, on waste and recycling, at the moment I understand that the county—if I can go down to a local level—is responsible for targets being met, but it is not the collection body, or the body that enables it to happen. That comes down to district or borough councils. In some ways, my reading of this is that it is exactly the same position. This aspect of the responsibility, willingness or ability of the devolved Administrations to meet those targets will then put on extra pressure. For example, if Scotland—this is a bad example as I am sure that Scotland would not be at fault—were unable to meet those targets, is the Minister saying that the rest of the Administrations within the UK would have to take up the slack? How will it happen in practice?
