Lord Callanan (Con)
No, I do not agree with the noble Baroness. The oil and gas industry employs tens if not hundreds of thousands of people. It recognises the challenge, and the Government need to work with that to help it in the transition.
Lord Grantchester (Lab)
Given the Committee on Climate Change’s recommended target of a 78% emissions cut by 2035 in its report on the sixth carbon budget, can the Minister confirm whether the Government will now raise their national determined contribution commitment to COP 26 policies to align with that?
Lord Callanan (Con)
I admire the noble Lord’s ambitions but we only announced the NDC two weeks ago, so we are not about to revise it already.
