Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Prime Minister's 20 September 2023 net zero speech on the readiness of businesses to decarbonise in line with the government's net zero targets.

My Rt hon. Friend the Secretary of State, ministers, and officials engage extensively with business leaders. The Government uses a variety of forums, including the Net Zero Council, to ensure businesses have the guidance and support they need to decarbonise.
