Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department is taking steps to increase the number of green jobs in Sefton Central constituency.

The Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution incorporates £12 Billion and sets out our plans to work with industry to create the skilled workforce needed to transition to a green economy. The Green Jobs Delivery Group has already supported 68,000 jobs within the green economy and a total of 430,000 green jobs generating an estimated turnover of £41.2 billion. Sefton also benefits from several streams of devolved funding through the Liverpool City Region MCA, including £30m pa to support local priorities including Green Growth.
