Carbon Emissions

Thursday 31st October 2019

Asked by: Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour - Life peer)

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

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to their commitment to reduce carbon emissions to net-zero by 2050, made on 27 June, what plans they have to require that all new (1) policy, (2) legislation, and (3) regulations, are accompanied by impact assessments setting out their effect on carbon emissions.

Answered by Lord Duncan of Springbank

The template government officials use when completing a regulatory impact assessment for government policy already requires that information is provided to answer the question “what is the CO₂ equivalent change in greenhouse gas emissions” for the respective policy.
