Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of the delay in the publication of the Transport Decarbonisation Plan from December 2020 to Spring 2021 on his Department’s ability to reduce carbon emissions to meet carbon budget commitments.

Publication of the Transport Decarbonisation Plan in Spring 2021 rather than December 2020 has no impact on delivering transport’s contribution to carbon budgets, and takes into account the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
