12 Feb 2025Energy Infrastructure: Chinese Companies

To have true energy security, we need home-grown capability at all stages of the development of renewable energy infrastructure, from the earliest research to maintenance and decommissioning. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that we have that home-grown full-lifecycle capability?

12 Feb 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 453)

I am not sure who this one would be directed at. Currently we have EPCs, which people use to judge energy efficiency. They are made on the basis that the work has been done correctly. If an EPC has been assessed on that basis and the installation has not been done properly, it is faulty and it has to be removed, at tha

Can I quickly ask Andy and Ian to comment as well?

Finally, a question for all of you. Is it possible to keep rogue traders out of the sector? Shall I start with Simon this time?

10 Feb 2025Inheritance Tax Relief: Farms

A small farmer with a farm near Frampton Cotterell, in my Thornbury and Yate constituency, highlighted the fact that, as well as high land costs, some of the machinery needed to farm that land costs upwards of £100,000. Does my hon. Friend agree that for farmers to have the confidence to invest in the modern, sustainab

5 Feb 2025Engagements

Q7. Following the earlier question from my right hon. Friend the Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Ed Davey), I want to raise an equally troubling case. My constituent retired from the police force to care for his wife, working a part-time job to help pay the bills. As his earnings were not consistent, there were times

5 Feb 2025Closure of High Street Services: Rural Areas

In my constituency, we have thriving community shops offering a range of services beyond selling goods. For example, Tytherington has an outreach post office, and people can pick up their prescriptions at Hawkesbury Stores in Hawkesbury Upton. Does my hon. Friend agree that for many villages, volunteer-run shops are vi

5 Feb 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 396)

You have already talked a lot about demand management, so we can probably assume that you all think that it should form a larger part of the policy mix under this Government than under the last one. NESO’s report to Government said that levels of demand flexibility could increase four to five times by 2030. Do you thin

Are there any examples internationally where demand has successfully been manipulated to reduce energy consumption and therefore bills of consumers?

Taking advantage at the moment involves the consumers manually deciding that they need to take advantage. Do you see further scope for automating this as you digitalise? You can automate things and therefore people will not have to think about it. At the moment, they have to do quite a lot of thinking.
