My Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State has regular discussions with my Rt hon Friend Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer on a number of issues. The Government has robust monitoring in place across the net zero space and is supporting net zero businesses and investors. The Government monitors the impact of inflation to ensure that its legal commitments are met, while setting out a proportionate, pragmatic approach to delivering net zero that reduces the costs and burdens on British families.
