Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Anne-Marie Trevelyan and Andrew Jones

Wednesday 20th October 2021 Commons Chamber

[The Secretary of State for International Trade (Anne-Marie Trevelyan)]

Waste management is a critical part of helping us to reach net zero across the planet. I was very pleased to see in the Duke of Cambridge’s Earthshot prize awards on Sunday that the Indians had a really interesting solution to the problem that ensured they could reduce their waste management and not have to burn their crops.

[Andrew Jones (Harrogate and Knaresborough) (Con)]

T2. Harrogate District Climate Change Coalition is staging its first climate action festival to coincide with COP26. It is full of events promoting ways that people can decarbonise their lives, with businesses, academics and community groups involved. Will the Minister join me in congratulating them on this excellent initiative and perhaps consider joining us for the second festival?
