The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he plans to take steps to support the Northern Ireland Executive to meet their net zero obligations.

Answered by Kerry McCarthy

Collaboration between the UK Government and Devolved Governments is essential to accelerate Net Zero and deliver the Clean Energy Superpower Mission. The Government is working closely with governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to help work towards delivery of our respective climate targets and carbon budgets and Ministers from this department and the Devolved Governments met on 17 October in Edinburgh to discuss this.
