British Business Bank: Carbon Emissions and Environment Protection
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what the total cost to the British Business Bank was in 2024–25 of policies, programmes and staffing related to net zero, decarbonisation, sustainability or the green economy, broken down by a) programme expenditure, b) staffing costs and c) consultancy and professional services.
Answered by Blair McDougall
The British Business Bank does not record or allocate its costs based on thematic categories such as net zero, decarbonisation, sustainability or the green economy. Its programme expenditure, staffing costs, and consultancy and professional services are managed and reported with reference to the programme or business line to which they relate, rather than by policy objective.
For this reason, the Bank is not in a position to provide a breakdown of costs for the year 2024–25 in the format requested.
