Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Kerry McCarthy)

The Climate Change Committee report made clear the progress we have made in the past 12 months on overturning the terrible legacy of the Conservatives, who turned their back on climate action. We know that clean power is the route to energy security, lower bills and good jobs. It is a shame that the Tories and Reform are still stuck in the past.
