Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the contribution of 23 October 2014, by the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Official Report, column 333WH, what recent progress has been made by the cross-government climate change communications group; what work that group will carry out over the next six months; who the participants in that group are; and if he will make a statement.

The cross-government communications group is composed of working-level officials invited from all Departments. It last met in August. This network will help to promote unified and consistent messaging on climate change across the government’s communication channels. We do not expect to make a statement about this group.
