With the Government backtracking on EV targets, heat pumps, warm homes, no oil and drilling—for example, Jackdaw—and now proposing more airport expansion, which climate promises are the Government going to stick to?

Lord Katz replied for HMG:

Where do I start, my Lords? In relation to the reference made by the noble Baroness to Jackdaw and so on, I would point out that Rosebank is in a live quasi-judicial regulatory process that is still to be decided on. We are very clear that Jackdaw was not a new licence; we are not breaking any promises there. More widely, I could go through quite a long list, but will spare noble Lords. The measures that we are taking to adapt to climate change include investing £300 million in natural flood management up to 2035, using the farming road map to put long-term climate resilience at the heart of farming, and £30 million for coastal adaptation pilots to help coastal communities adapt. I will stop there, but I hope that the noble Baroness gets the drift.
