The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department is taking steps to increase green investment in the hospitality industry.

Answered by Gareth Thomas

The Department is working with the hospitality sector through the Hospitality Sector Council to help businesses become more environmentally sustainable. This includes producing energy saving guidance for small businesses, helping small operators understand how to reach net zero, and creating a toolkit to improve the sector's biodiversity footprint.

We are also working closely with Defra and DESNZ on how to increase green investment in the industry.
