Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps the Accounting Officer and Permanent Secretary has taken since July 2024 to prevent conflicts of interest regarding Quadrature.

DESNZ does not have any contract or direct relation with Quadrature. The department does however work with organisations that have previously received funding from the separate legal entity, Quadrature Climate Foundation (QCF), and has taken measures that mitigate any risks of Conflicts of Interest.
