Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Prime Minister, what plans he has to appoint a new envoy on climate change.

The Government is committed to tackling climate change by reducing our emissions at home and pushing for ambitious action globally. The Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, my right hon. Friend the Member for Hastings and Rye (Ms Rudd), played a key role in Paris to secure the first global legally binding climate agreement. The focus now is on implementation. There are no plans to appoint a new envoy on climate change at this time.
