Lord Callanan
The noble Baroness makes an important point. She is of course right to point out that reducing our emissions in this country is fine but, if we just import emissions from other countries, we will have achieved nothing. That is why we have an ambitious outreach and diplomacy strategy to persuade other countries to follow our lead. As the noble Baroness will know, we have the most optimistic and far-reaching targets in the western world. She is right: we must make sure that, as the Prime Minister said yesterday, we build back greener and build back better.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Lexden) (Con)
My Lords, all supplementary questions have been asked. That concludes the Hybrid Proceedings on Oral Questions.
