Darren Jones, chair of the business, energy and industrial strategy industrial committee has welcomed the government’s accelerated plans to cut carbon emissions, but warned “I’m not enormously confident about our ability to deliver on our targets.”

The government announced on Tuesday that it would bring forward plans to cut carbon emissions by 78% by 2025.
