Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he will put in place to fill the policy gap identified by the Committee on Climate Change in meeting the fourth and fifth carbon budgets.
The Government’s policies and proposals for meeting the fourth and fifth carbon budgets are set out in the Clean Growth Strategy, published in October 2017. The Government agrees with the Committee on Climate Change that ambitious and rapid implementation of the policies and proposals in the Strategy is needed to ensure we meet our carbon budgets, and we will consider carefully the recent recommendations made by the Committee.
