Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Claire Coutinho and Christine Jardine

Tuesday 28th November 2023 Commons Chamber

[Claire Coutinho]

This is yet more doom and gloom from the Opposition. If we look at what we have actually achieved, we can see that we have the most ambitious targets in the world and we have set out unprecedented levels of detail. We will continue to do so.
