Former Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has accused successive governments of “back-sliding” on the green agenda as he joined calls from the Humber for stability and certainty on the drive to Net Zero.

Mr Huhne appeared at the region’s The Waterline Summit launch, more than a decade on from his time in the Conservative / Lib-Dem coalition cabinet.
