Sporting Events Bill [HL]Contribution
With regard to the advertising by fossil fuel companies, we recognise that combating climate change is a major challenge. That is why this Government are committed to tackling climate change and have restored the UK as an international leader on climate change. Making Britain a clean energy superpower is one of the Government’s five missions: to deliver clean power by 2030 and accelerate to net zero across the economy. However, we do not currently have any plans to restrict fossil fuel advertising. We recognise the strength of feeling the noble Baroness has in this area and, while the Government cannot support these amendments, we remain committed to achieving our goals in these areas through other means.
