Mel Stride comments on today’s Climate Change Committee report

Commenting on today’s Sixth Carbon Budget from the Climate Change Committee (CCC), Rt Hon. Mel Stride MP, Chair of the Treasury Committee, said:

“The CCC report is clear that substantial action is needed to ensure that zero carbon transport and domestic heating options are ready for the 2030s.

“The Treasury Committee’s inquiry into decarbonisation has been examining how private finance could help to fund some of this very costly transition, and we will report in the new year.

“The Government should now publish its Net Zero Review interim report, setting out its strategy for achieving net zero, and take into account the important recommendations made by the Climate Assembly.”
