The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how much his Department has spent on measures to achieve net zero targets in the last five years.

Answered by Justin Madders

The department does not maintain records of expenditure on measures to achieve net zero.

The department’s estate is managed and maintained by the Government Property Agency (GPA). The GPA is responsible for investment in energy efficiency measures that relate to the department’s office estate.

Details of the department’s sustainability performance can be found in the department’s Annual Report and Accounts.
