Debate between Lord Sharma and Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb

Tuesday 8th September 2026 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP)]

My Lords—

[Lord Sharma (Con)]

My Lords, given the increasingly challenging impact of climate change on households, public services and business, have the Minister and his department given any consideration to ensuring that the UK’s national adaptation plan is a dynamic document that is regularly updated, rather than something that is static and updated every five years? Could he also update the House on any representations that he and his department have made to the new Chancellor to protect long-term funding, for instance for flooding, at future fiscal events?
