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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether she plans to establish an advisory board to support her Department’s preparations for hosting the 26th Conference of the Parties.

We are fortunate in the UK to have a wealth of external expertise on climate change and energy across a range of sectors. We already engage with many of these stakeholders on a regular basis and will continue to ensure the wealth of external expertise is utilised during preparations for COP26.
