Thank you for that answer, First Minister. Last week, the environment Minister gave a statement, a written statement, around the Welsh Government's change in its commitment to hit zero carbon emissions by 2050. In the penultimate paragraph, it said that the climate change committee report

'makes it clear the scale and pace of change required to meet a net zero target is greater than any other planned economic transition in modern times.'

Could the First Minister confirm that when the Cabinet agreed to this commitment and indeed its declaration on climate change emergency, that detailed economic modelling was made available so that residents in South Wales Central can have confidence that the economic model that the Government is pursuing will not jeopardise jobs and jeopardise prosperity, and, where possible—where possible—those papers will be made available for Members to look over?
