Lord Hamilton of Epsom Excerpts

Monday 9th September 2019 Lords Chamber

[Lord Duncan of Springbank]

It was our Government. We will have an updated clean growth strategy because it is absolutely vital. We will need to be bold about taking ourselves forward to net zero by 2050, because our present initiatives are not adequate to deliver that. There will need to be a significant refresh not just of the wider clean growth strategy but of all aspects of this covering all government departments.

[Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Con)]

My Lords, taking up the point made by the noble Baroness, Lady Meacher, on banishing CO₂ altogether, surely we will have to stop breathing out.

[Lord Duncan of Springbank]

I strongly discourage my noble friend not to stop breathing out.
