Carla Denyer , the co-leader of the Green Party , is still adjusting to the antiquated workings of parliament.

The Bristol Central MP for Bristol Central is unhappy with the process of getting on a select committee.

She says she is “hopeful’ that at least one of the four Green MPs would be accepted on to a main select committee..

Denyer says she has misgivings about the ownership split between the government and private-sector investors.

She says she hopes to hear more from the Labour government about how they’re going to decarbonise transport, building, heating, energy efficiency and so on.

Prior to joining parliament, Denyer was a renewable energy engineer specialising in offshore and onshore wind.

The Green co-leader expressed concerns about the UK government’s legally binding responsibility to reach net zero emissions by 2050 .

While acknowledging that the government is doing a good job investing in renewables, Denyer added: “If you're allowing new fossil fuel projects to open at the same time, you’re not going to get to net zero ".
