Business secretary: ‘It’s not my job to say when legislation will be coming into the House’

During business questions, Caroline Lucas asked business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng to commit to following through on “legislation for Eco 4”. 

Kwarteng told the House of Commons “it’s not my job to say when legislation will be coming into the House”. 

The secretary went on to explain that government commitments to the environment are over the next 10 years and not necessarily the current term of the parliament.
