	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2020 answer text <p>Covid-19 has had a significant short-term effect on emissions – for example, BEIS statistics estimate that road fuel sales between 23 March and 24 May were 43 per cent below the preceding eight weeks, and electricity consumption has also reduced. Renewables have regularly been providing more than 50% of our power. But the fundamental challenge of climate change has not changed – these reductions are likely to be short-term and the need to tackle climate change and reaching net zero remains as urgent as ever.</p><p> </p><p>Many of the actions we need to take to meet our future carbon budgets can also support our recovery from Covid-19 – for example through the investments we committed to in the Budget to support carbon capture and storage, electric vehicle infrastructure, and low carbon heating.</p><p> </p><p>We will be setting out further plans in key sectors such as transport, heat and buildings this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 09/06/2020 11:23:20 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
