Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what effect the Transport Decarbonisation Plan will have on the Green Jobs Taskforce launched on 12 November 2020; and when he last discussed the low carbon economy and employment levels in public transport with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The Green Jobs Taskforce forms part of the government’s ambitious plan to build back greener and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. We will set out measures needed to reach net zero for transport in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan. Department for Transport and Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy ministers have regular discussions on a range of issues, including tackling climate change and delivering our net zero commitments.
