Carbon Emissions: Fylde

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 30 April 2025UIN 46935

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Climate Change Committee’s Seventh Carbon Budge on (a) his Department's policies and (b) people in Fylde constituency.

Answered by Kerry McCarthy

The actual costs of delivering the Seventh Carbon Budget will be determined by the choices that government makes. The costs and funding scenarios set out in the CCC’s Seventh Carbon Budget report are illustrative and do not represent government policy and Government is not bound to accept their recommendations. We will set the level of Carbon Budget 7 by June 2026, in line with our statutory duties.
