MPs to check if the government's green plans are fit for purpose

Treasury and business committees to question whether policies will help or hinder sustainable recovery

MPs plan to scrutinise the government's green economic plans and industrial strategy to test whether they are still fit for purpose in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.

The government will face two separate inquiries into its plans, by the Treasury and business department parliamentary select committees, to question whether its existing policies will help or hinder sustainable post-pandemic economic growth.
