Downing Street says that as 'substantial progress' has been made on domestic issues, the PM's plans not to attend the summit are 'under review'
“The Prime Minister is focused on pressing domestic issues, most significantly preparing for the autumn statement, so any attendance at COP would depend on progress on preparation for that fiscal event, and that work is ongoing,” he said.
Ed Miliband, shadow Climate Change Secretary, said the handling of the issue showed Mr Sunak was “a dithering Prime Minister who cannot even decide whether he is going to a major environmental summit”. “What’s clear now is that if he turns up, it won’t be to provide leadership but to avoid embarrassment,” Mr Miliband added.
“With the UK holding the COP26 presidency, attending to hand the baton on to Egypt is absolutely essential to demonstrate the UK’s commitment to building on last year’s climate talks,” he said.
