There is no row. I do not row with my colleagues. If I understood him correctly, the right hon. Gentleman was asking about the baseline emissions, which are a matter for technical assessment and scientific advice.

The figures used to monitor progress towards the UK's climate change targets are published annually in the UK's greenhouse gas inventory. The inventory is subject to annual independent scientific peer review by a team of specialists organised by the secretariat of the UN framework convention on climate change. The inventory also contains internal quality assurance and quality control procedures, in line with international guidance prepared by the intergovernmental panel on climate change.
