Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Answer of 17 October 2023 to Question 200203 on Financial Services: Environment Protection, when he plans to publish the next stage of the UK Green Taxonomy process.

The Government remains committed to delivering a UK Green Taxonomy to support an increase in financing for activities supporting the transition to net zero and delivering on UK environmental objectives. We expect to consult shortly. Following the consultation, we will analyse responses and provide a government response in accordance with Cabinet Office consultation principles, with a view to finalising the Taxonomy.
