As it is, local authorities already have access to guidance and support on net-zero issues, including energy planning. This includes Net Zero Go, as mentioned before, funded by DESNZ, which provides a library of free tools and guidance for local authorities. They also have access to advice and support from the five local net-zero hubs funded by DESNZ, which have already supported a number of local authorities in the development of their local area energy plans. I hope that the noble Lord, Lord Ravensdale, and my noble friend Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, are satisfied with our response.
