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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department is taking steps to increase the number of green jobs in Feltham and Heston constituency.

The Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution incorporates £12 Billion and sets out our plans to work with industry to create the skilled workforce needed to transition to a green economy. The Green Jobs Delivery Group has already supported 68,000 jobs nationally within the green economy. This forms part of around 430,000 jobs in low carbon businesses and their supply chains across the country generating an estimated turnover of £41.2 billion. Feltham and Heston also benefit from several streams of growth funding awarded to London, including £144m through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund announced on Monday 5 December 2022, a central pillar of the Government’s ambitious Levelling Up agenda.
