Andrea Leadsom corrected the Commons record on International Climate Action
The words were spoken in the Commons on 26 September 2019. The correction was made by letter from the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Andrea Leadsom), and printed in Hansard's Written Corrections on 30 September 2019. The figure £11.2 billion in the original became £11.6 billion in the correction. Altogether 2 words differ between the two versions.
The question
Does the Secretary of State agree that the climate emergency demands that we reform the whole financial system, to decarbonise capitalism and green the City? If so, why are the Government taking three years to implement the mandatory disclosure of climate-related financial risks, when it could be brought in within one year?
