Bill Esterson (Sefton Central) (Lab)
The CDC has spent £680 million on fossil-fuel projects since 2010, according to CAFOD. The Secretary of State is fond of telling us that he is all about show, not tell. Will he show us by ending this hidden support for fossil fuels, which only adds to carbon emissions around the world, and end the mockery that is the Government’s pretence that they are taking meaningful action to combat the climate emergency?
Dominic Raab
The example that the hon. Gentleman cites is an historic one. We will make sure that it cannot be repeated or replicated in future.
