The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an estimate of the cost to the public purse of the COP30 climate summit.

The UK Government has rigorous processes in place to ensure costs for COP summits are managed effectively and represent value for money. A full cost will be confirmed and published once all expenditure is finalised.
