Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential role of local skills improvement plans in net zero delivery.

The department recognises the importance of skills required for the delivery of net zero. In approving a Local Skills Improvement Plan, the Skills and Post-16 Education Act ensures that the department is satisfied that there has been consideration of the skills required in relation to jobs that support compliance with the UK net zero emissions target.
