Baroness Hayman has been named ‘Peer of the Year’ for her leadership in bringing parliamentarians together on climate and nature issues and collected the award last night from the Rt Hon Chris Skidmore MP in parliament.
Â
In her acceptance speech she spoke about the extraordinary amount of parliamentary work that has been undertaken this year to encourage progress in sectors critical to meeting climate and nature goals, and how this success has been realised through effective cross-party working and collaborating closely with the Commons to drive legislative change.
