Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chris Law and Kerry McCarthy

Tuesday 10th June 2025 Commons Chamber

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Kerry McCarthy)]

This is the subject of ongoing discussions between our Department and, in particular, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: we want to ensure that we are not giving with one hand and taking away with the other. That is part of the remodelling that will enable us to supply international climate finance to the people who need it most.

[Chris Law (Dundee Central) (SNP)]

T4. I wish you a happy birthday, Mr Speaker. In its manifesto last year, the Scottish Labour party promised to create 69,000 Scottish jobs in the clean energy industries of the future, but on “The Sunday Show” the Scottish Labour leader was unable to answer any questions about that. May I ask how many jobs have been created so far, how this is progressing, and when the target will be met?
