Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to accelerate climate action across the UK.

The government is committed to building a cleaner, healthier economy which will bring benefits for people across the country.

The government recently set the level for the seventh Carbon Budget, securing Parliamentary approval for a level of ~87% emissions reduction on 1990 levels for the period 2038 – 2042, setting a clear basis for the pace of action required to meet net zero by 2050.

In August, we announced ‘Plug-in’ solar panels available in shops and on 29 September the Prime Minister announced Great British Grid (GBG).

Alongside accelerating the transition to clean power, the Government's Warm Homes Plan will support up to five million households to install insulation, solar panels, batteries and heat pumps, helping cut emissions, lower bills and reduce fuel poverty.
