Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on meeting the Government’s Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change of reducing economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by at least 68 per cent by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.

Cabinet colleagues regularly discuss progress towards meeting the Government’s emissions reduction targets, including the UK’s Nationally Determined Contribution. The Government will publish its Net Zero progress report in the autumn. This will include Net Zero delivery progress in the previous year against the delivery pathway to net zero.
