I would advise the deputy that the 2024 liability is currently being worked on and will be submitted for payment to the Climate Action Fund by the end of this month. Equally, data relating to travel in 2025 and future liabilities have yet to be determined.
I can confirm that all trips made were compliant in the context of payments being made to the Climate Action Fund.
