Text

I am not going to thank the Minister for that answer, because it was not particularly helpful. He has stated that there will be no rolling back, but climate policy must be affordable and attainable. Will he confirm whether his test for climate policy is that it will reduce emissions at an affordable cost or simply that it satisfies the ideological demands of the environmental lobby?
