Lord Callanan (Con)
I agree with the noble Baroness that we need to generate more green jobs and to build back better—that was the aim of the 10-point plan, and it is a central aim of the Government. The noble Baroness makes an important point and we shall endeavour to do exactly that.
Lord Randall of Uxbridge (Con) [V]
