14 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

I wonder if there is anything that says, “This is enough” or “This is the crux of the story” and is going to sell it—something that says that we are on a trajectory to great things in the future.

Do you think the opportunity to become a net exporter of energy will help in the narrative with the general public?

Okay. DESNZ has a public attitudes tracker, and the headline findings from summer last year say that in the short term 69% expect the transition to net zero to increase their living expenses, up from 65%, with only 7% saying that they expect a decrease. In the long term, 50% expected an increase in living expenses and

We have been saying that for a very long time now. I do not want to rain on your parade and I am very supportive. We have Siemens across the river in lovely Hull, and two big operations and maintenance bases in my constituency. I have long recognised that there is opportunity, but this is the same thing that has been s

We know that three quarters of consumers—not even vulnerable consumers; all consumers—are confused by their energy bills. If you have released a vulnerability study, presumably you are expecting to see a quite rapid turnaround on that figure that three quarters of people do not know what their bill means when they open

I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Brigg and Immingham (Martin Vickers) for securing the debate and for being so gracious with his time. For workers and their families across the Humber, the past six months have been bruising to say the least. People who have spent their working lives keeping a complex site safe, co

You mentioned in your previous response home-grown energy. You were talking about it in the context of security—7,000 jobs, £22 billion-worth of investment—but much of it is not home grown. Our resources are home grown, some of the personnel is home grown, but much of it is not. Much of it is brought in from the Middle

On generating confidence in the community, I wonder whether zealotry, or a sense of having blinkers on or not being sensitive to what I think is a change in public attitude, is a problem in terms of where the message carriers come from, from a Government perspective.
