Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what discussions she has had with ministerial colleagues on a cross-departmental approach to moving to low carbon energy sources.

Working across departments is essential in order to move to low carbon energy sources and deliver our carbon commitments. There is already a great deal of work going on because we recognise that the challenges and opportunities we face require the whole of Government to work together.

For example, we are cutting emissions, driving innovation and creating jobs through our joint work with the Department of Transport to promote low emissions vehicles.
