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

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether their projections of sea level rises around the UK coast have been updated to reflect the findings of the Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, The Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, approved on 24 September.

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. I will correspond directly with the noble Baroness.
