Public Procurement: British Standard 95009

Lord Forsyth of Drumlean Excerpts

Tuesday 5th April 2022 Lords Chamber

[Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)]

My Lords, in considering their net-zero targets and procurement, will the Government take account of the amount of carbon imported in products coming from countries that do not comply with the requirements put on our own industry, thus making them uncompetitive but doing nothing to save the planet?

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

My noble friend asks a very interesting and in-depth question. If he does not mind, I will respond to him in writing.
