Oral Answers to Questions

Felicity Buchan Excerpts

Wednesday 9th June 2021 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Felicity Kendal, come on! [Laughter.] Buchan even!

[Felicity Buchan (Kensington) (Con)]

Thank you, Mr Speaker. You have made me slightly older. I am proud of my Government’s record on the environment and the fact that we have cut emissions at the fastest rate of any G7 country. I welcome the fact that the Lancaster West estate in my constituency has benefited from a green grant of almost £20 million to decarbonise. Does my right hon. Friend agree that we need to build back better in a green way and in a way that levels up all parts of the United Kingdom?

[The Prime Minister]

Yes, I do—my hon. Friend is absolutely right. That is why we have committed a total of £3.8 billion to fund energy improvement in the performance of social rented homes in particular.
