Lisa Nandy MP, Labour’s Shadow Energy Secretary, responding to the news that the Energy Secretary has admitted for the first time that the UK is not on course to meet legally binding EU targets on renewable energy, said:
“At the very same time the Energy Secretary is telling her colleagues in private we’re not on course to meet our legal target on clean energy, she is cutting wind and solar schemes that could help us to meet it.
“It beggars belief that Ministers are pursuing these regressive steps, and damaging our international reputation on climate change, less than a month before the important Paris Summit.”
