answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2023 answer text <p>We welcome the Institution of Civil Engineer's engagement on these two vital Government priorities. As highlighted in the Levelling Up White Paper, the largest industrial emitting sectors are in some of the least prosperous areas in the UK, where investment in the transition to Net Zero can potentially yield significant benefits for businesses and communities.</p><p>We are keen to harness the opportunity that the Net Zero transition presents to level up the UK. That is why we have established a Green Jobs Delivery Group in collaboration with industry and energy leaders, to support the delivery of 480,000 new green jobs by 2030. The Group will help ensure the UK has the skilled workforce it needs to build clean industries, whilst making sure that workers, businesses and local areas are supported throughout the transition. The Government also looks forward to responding to the Skidmore Review, which sets out recommendations on the interaction between Net Zero, levelling up and local leadership.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 20/01/2023 12:04:38 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
