Speeches by Collinge.

“What about the supply chain to the renewables sector? We heard evidence in the first session that the renewables sector is often reliant on supply chains from abroad and warranties from abroad. Does that reflect the experience of your sector?”

“Rolling back on commitments previously made can be worse for industry.”

“Thank you. I want to bring in Mark at this point. I have a port in my constituency, Heysham Port, and I want to know more about the role of ports in the supply chain transition. What do you think the role of ports is in this transition and this supply chain issue?”

“Can you explain what carbon leakage is?”

“I will be very brief, Chair. Thank you, David, for your comments about the importance of workers and looking after them. Would you be willing to share with the Committee the calculations and assumptions that underpin your proposal for a different mechanism?”

“What changes need to happen in ports? You are talking about quite different products there. Are there ports that are used for oil and gas that would struggle to do turbines and things like that? What about the infrastructure need for that?”

“Claire, you spoke earlier about work and more recently about workers feeling like they do not know what the future is and they do not see this plan and that that is even affecting their support for the transition as well as feeling it personally. You spoke about the plans, but in most industries that I know, most worke…”

“Can you explain what carbon leakage is?”

“You spoke about being told that there is no future in your industry, and I very much understand how difficult that must be, but if it is a declining industry and if we are in an economy now where most people move jobs and move industries multiple times within their careers, is it realistic to have an expectation that t…”

“We heard about the transition away from oil and gas and the impact on energy production workers in the first panel. I want to move to a discussion around the supply chain, both downstream and supplying the oil and gas industry. Verity, how easy is it for UK supply chains to transition from the declining oil and gas sec…”

“I want to quickly ask about international competition in the supply chain from China. Elizabeth, how vulnerable are UK supply chains to that competition and what do we need to be doing to support domestic supply chains?”

“One of my constituents, Joseph Towers, has experienced at first hand the brutality of brain cancer and the delays in treatment that affect people across the country. I am short on time, so I will say these few things directly to the Minister. The UK ranks 22nd out of 29 wealthy nations for our five-year brain cancer su…”

“I am sorry; I will not give way, as I want to finish this speech. The House of Lords at its best provides detailed scrutiny of legislation, proposing amendments to make it more workable and addressing criticisms of it. But this was not the House of Lords at its best; this was the House of Lords that I remember from my …”

“Will the hon. Gentleman give way?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Edward. I want to speak about the process of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which was prevented from completing its parliamentary journey by a small number of unelected peers who showed through their actions that they had no respect for the constitution…”
