The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure Scotland benefits fully from the delivery plan for the Seventh Carbon Budget.

Answered by Katie White

The Government continues to pursue policies which deliver tangible improvements to the everyday lives of people across the whole of the United Kingdom, harnessing the benefits and opportunities of the transition. We work closely with the Devolved Governments in the development of these policies.

A delivery plan setting out how Carbon Budget 7 will be met will be published as soon as is reasonably practical, in line with the Climate Change Act 2008.
