Campaign Responses

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the APPG meeting on Wednesday 18 October.

Living through the pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health of people across our country, including those with bipolar disorder, and I know that the Government is taking steps to improve access to mental health support and services.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend UNICEF UK’s Early Moments Matter Exhibition.

While e-cigarettes are not risk-free, the Government supports the use of e-cigarettes as a means to stop adults smoking and contributing towards the goal of creating the first smokefree generation.

My ministerial colleagues and I recognise that the majority of those who use fireworks do so in a responsible and safe manner.

My ministerial colleagues and I want to make it easier for the consumer to purchase food that aligns with their values, by improving transparency and providing the industry with a level playing field to promote such products.

I would first like to make clear that the Government remains fully committed to reducing emissions of the five key air pollutants and achieving the ambitious emission reduction targets set out in the National Emission Ceilings Regulations (NECR). The targets in the NECR are unchanged by the Retained EU Law Act. 

The United Kingdom was the first major economy to legislate for net zero carbon emissions and since 2000, the UK has decarbonised faster than any other G7 country.

There is no doubt that communities are key to decarbonising the UK economy, and I am glad that the Government is supportive of community energy.
