ECCC launches Brexit inquiries

The Energy and Climate Change Committee (ECCC) has launched two inquiries into how the vote to leave the EU could hit UK policy.

The first of the two will focus on the impacts on climate change policy, whilst the other will assess the implications on UK energy policy.

In the climate change inquiry, the ECCC aims to understand the implications of the UK’s departure from the EU on the country’s climate-change commitments and ambitions, and determine which climate policy areas will need to be addressed during the UK’s exit negotiations. It seeks guidance on an appropriate timeline for these developments.

The deadline for written submissions is Monday 22 August.
