England’s new climate minister Graham Stuart owns a publishing company that specialised in promoting gas guzzlers, openDemocracy can reveal.

Stuart, who has been MP for Beverley and Holderness in Yorkshire since 2005, chairs and owns 80% of CSL Publishing Ltd, which produced magazines specialising in “marine and automotive brands,” including 4x4 Mart, which claimed to be the “UK’s top magazine for buying and selling 4x4s”.
