8 Sept 2025Hydrogen Supply Chains

I thank my hon. Friend for her intervention, and I am grateful for the support of the wider south-west mafia. Hydrogen UK has reported that unlocking storage infrastructure investment is urgently needed as the sector could require 3.4 TWh of large-scale hydrogen storage by 2030, which could increase to 9.8 TWh by 2035.

8 Sept 2025Critical Infrastructure Funding: Maintenance and Repair

The weight limit imposed on the M48 Severn bridge due to the deterioration of its supporting cables is having a big impact on local businesses and farmers who work on both sides of the Severn. National Highways estimates that it would cost up to £600 million to repair the bridge, with restrictions only postponing the i

8 Sept 2025 Neurodivergent People: Employment

Does my hon. Friend agree it is ironic that, when neurodivergent people commonly experience executive functioning difficulties, applying for Access to Work requires them to have good skills in that area, and people actually need support to access support?

3 Sept 2025 Business of the House

During recess, at an event to promote the new Avon and Somerset victim service, concerns were raised with me about the delay in publishing a new hate crime action plan for England and Wales to replace the one that expired in 2020. Will the Leader of the House tell us when a new plan will be published? If not, will she

In the rural areas in particular?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

Angharad, how can the Government ensure that behavioural interventions, nudges, social modelling do not mask structural inequality such as fuel poverty or cultural under-representation?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

Stephanie, what behavioural interventions have proven most effective in shifting public attitudes towards low-carbon technologies, and how can those be scaled nationally?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

I would like to start with Lorraine, please. What role, if any, do you see for behavioural science and social transformation models in guiding government efforts to counter public scepticism around net zero? How does that differ in rural areas where there may be additional structural barriers to action?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

You mentioned Ofgem and the Climate Change Committee as being people who should be helping the public to understand things. Do you think the public see them in that light?

Rebecca, did you have anything to add on the subject of messengers?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

So you would not support local business leaders, for example, as being useful messengers in this?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

If I can get quick answers to a final question from me. Do people link climate change concerns with policies labelled as “energy transition” or “net zero”? Do they see that link?

3 Sept 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

You seem to be focusing on the structural inequalities. When we talk about nudge factors, for example, if you make things easier for people to do that makes them more likely to do them, so there are small things that you could do. Does that change in situations where someone is facing fuel poverty or cultural misrepres
