I assure my hon. Friend and investors that nature-based solutions are central to our response to this issue. London is the centre of carbon markets, and we want to protect that. We have been focusing on the coalition to grow carbon markets, which we will work on at London Climate Action Week, but I would love to work with her to make sure that we give reassurance, act with integrity and come forward with the necessary proposals.
Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West) (Con)
Does the Minister plan to allow clean community energy companies to sell power directly to households and businesses?
Katie White
We are pursuing that through the local power plan, and we intend for that to happen.
