Net Zero Carbon Emissions: UK’s Progress

Debate between Layla Moran and Norman Lamb

Thursday 28th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Layla Moran]

The hon. Gentleman is right. Report after report and evidence after evidence show that the UK is not doing enough to drive down emissions.

[Norman Lamb (North Norfolk) (LD)]

I am delighted that my hon. Friend has secured this debate. She has made the point that emissions have not fallen. In fact, most recently, they have increased. Does she agree that the target of ending carbon vehicles by 2040 is not ambitious enough?

[Layla Moran]

My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. The theme of my speech today is that we are not doing enough.
