Green Investment Bank

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on Green Investment Bank.

I am sorry that we are descending into partisanship, but as we are kind of there, I just point out that under this Government the amount of investment going into the green economy has dropped massively. We are now, in many league tables, out of it completely; we used to be in the top 10. Government Members need to take seriously the signals that they are giving to international investors. The signal that they are giving is that the UK is not a good place to put investment into green areas, and that is deeply worrying for economic as well as environmental reasons.
