Risk and Resilience: Annual Statement

Nigel Evans Excerpts

Monday 4th December 2023 Commons Chamber

[The Deputy Prime Minister]

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right to raise this. Under this Government, we have seen a 68% reduction in carbon emissions, which is faster than the EU, the United States of America and others. We are world leaders in many technologies, not least offshore wind and, I hope shortly, in the next generation of carbon capture and storage. We continue to work very closely with businesses to help them build that resilience.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

I thank the Deputy Prime Minister for his statement and for responding to questions.
