Rain Newton-Smith, CBI Chief Economist, yesterday said:

“Investment in green jobs and technology must be at the centre of our efforts to revive the economy. Help to create new, sustainable jobs for the future and improve energy efficiency will bring benefits to consumers and business customers alike across the UK.

“This £3 billion package of measures will undoubtedly fast-forward progress towards net-zero. With the Government’s own manifesto promising £9.2 billion on energy efficiency alone, we look forward to seeing the full details on delivery of its ambition to build back greener.”
