Issuing new licences will reduce higher emission imports and retain vital capabilities in the sector that are vital to the transition to clean technologies. This is consistent with the agreement at COP28 to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 12/02/2024 12:35:01 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
