Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs on (a) the potential impact of the waste and fluorinated gases emissions reduction targets in the Carbon Budget Delivery Plan on that sector and (b) the ability of the sector to deliver on those targets.

The Domestic and Economic Affairs (Energy, Climate and Net Zero) Cabinet Committee and supporting governance structures ensure that there are multiple forums empowered to identify and address the system-wide interdependencies within net zero, and between net zero and other priorities, to keep us on track to meet Carbon Budgets. My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero is the deputy chair of this Committee which my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and I also attend.
