Plastic was rare when I was brought up in the 1950s, so is it possible for the Government to set targets to get us back to those low levels? Recycling just delays the amount of plastic going into the environment.
Plastic was rare when I was brought up in the 1950s, so is it possible for the Government to set targets to get us back to those low levels? Recycling just delays the amount of plastic going into the environment.
Our Environment Bill provides the opportunity for future Governments to set targets on the use of resources and recycling. Reducing the need for single-use plastics is an important part of this, but recycling will also be a crucial part in reaching our goal of eliminating avoidable plastic waste in the coming years. That is why we are seeking to increase the amount of plastic that is recyclable and is recycled.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether her Department has received from the Committee on Climate Change an estimate of the costs of achieving net zero carbon emissions in each year from 2020 to 2049.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether her Department has received from the Committee on Climate Change an estimate of the costs of achieving net zero carbon emissions in each year from 2020 to 2049.
The Committee on Climate Change has not provided the Department with an estimate of the costs in each year from 2020 to 2049 for delivering the UK’s net zero target.
Costs are inevitably uncertain between 2020 and 2049 but the CCC estimate that the costs of delivering the net zero target will be equivalent to 1-2% of GDP in 2050. We will publish further detail in the impact assessment for the sixth carbon budget and for all policies which we take forward to deliver the net zero target.
In addition, HM Treasury are carrying out a review into the costs of transitioning to a net zero economy, as recommended by the CCC. The review will consider how to pay for this and how to achieve the transition in a way that works for households, businesses and public finances, as well as how we can ensure this is compatible with plans for a thriving and competitive economy.

Any change to the route of HS2 is likely to lead to further delays and extra cost. Is not the solution to HS2 to put competent people in charge of delivering it, and not to mess about with it and give an advantage to those who are opposed to it?

I have no doubt that Mr Oakervee is watching proceedings here carefully this morning to hear what colleagues have to say. That will be one of the issues that comes within his terms of reference and he will be reporting on.
