Caroline Lucas – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Lucas on 2016-10-11.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when his Department plans to publish the consultation on the Government’s commitment to phase out coal-fired power stations.

Jesse Norman

Most of the UK’s existing coal fired power stations are old, relatively inefficient and require investment to reduce the level of damaging pollutants they emit. We expect to consult shortly on the closure of unabated coal stations.
