Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the UK's investment and trade policy does not undermine its international leadership on climate action.

This Government is committed to being an international leader on environmental issues. This includes tackling climate change, delivering our clean energy superpower mission, achieving our net zero and other environmental goals, while supporting economic growth. As set out in the Trade Strategy, we will maintain our right to regulate in pursuit of our ambitious climate and environment goals in any and all new trade agreements. Additionally, we will seek outcomes in trading frameworks, including at the WTO, that support sustainable trade, and drive initiatives that support trade in environmental goods and services.
