Lord Callanan (Con)
The noble Baroness will be aware that I cannot give any commitments on taxation because that is a matter for the Chancellor. However, there are some excellent examples of electric and hybrid SUVs; people can continue to use these vehicles while still contributing to the cause of reducing their emissions.
Baroness Prashar (CB) [V]
Does the Minister agree that the engagement of the not-for-profit sector in developing public strategies is absolutely crucial? Does he also agree that this is an excellent opportunity to ensure that we strengthen our democracy by involving young people through non-governmental organisations?
Lord Callanan (Con)
We are closely engaging with young people. The Youth Climate Action Team is closely working with many young people’s groups on this agenda.
