The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will remove net zero targets for key strategic industries.

Answered by Sarah Jones

Our targets are there to help us seize the economic opportunity of the century – and we are absolutely committed to them.

So, instead of leaving great British industries without a long-term plan for their future, we will help them become more secure and sustainable, creating and protecting hundreds of thousands of jobs across the UK.
