To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 2 July 2021 to Question 21213 on Greenhouse Gas Emissions, whether delays to the publication of the Hydrogen Strategy and the Heat and Buildings Strategy will affect the timescales for the publication of the Net Zero Strategy; and if he will make a statement.

The Government plans to publish a Net Zero Strategy ahead of COP that will set out the Government’s vision for transitioning to a net zero economy and outline our path to meet net zero by 2050.
