Lord Callanan (Con)
We will of course conduct due diligence on all potential sponsors and will ensure compliance with rigorous government standards on all matters.
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP)
My Lords, the noble Viscount, Lord Waverley, made an interesting point that companies ought to be truly climate credible. Which climate-credible people in the Government will make the decision on which companies are climate credible?
Lord Callanan (Con)
As in all these matters, the ultimate decisions will rest with Ministers. We will judge companies closely against the criteria that we have already published, and I am sure that the noble Baroness will want to hold me to account for those decisions.
