| 4 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “We will go for quick answers from Angus and Dhara.” | 10 |
| 4 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Let’s say from the point of the election, when that was on the leaflets that we all delivered.” | 18 |
| 4 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “A quick yes-or-no question for you, Merlin: do you think that the Government will reduce household energy bills by £300 by 2030?” | 22 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “On the balance of skills that some of the large energy projects will need and then the skills for warm homes, do you think the training environment is agile enough to support people moving between those different sectors in the overall realm of clean energy?” | 45 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “This is a question for Hugo. Anecdotally, through lots of discussions and a bit in this Committee, I have heard a frustration from industry that there is a lot of consultation and they provide a lot of information again and again. You touched on this a bit, Minister. They have consulted on the industrial strategy, whic…” | 137 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “What do you need to finish the workforce plan? Do you still need more data to finish this plan? You are not sure when it is going to be published. What is the piece of the puzzle you are missing to finish it?” | 43 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “Minister, if you want to pop up to Northampton, we have an amazing clean skills training at Northampton College, with industry and FE working together. You are always more than welcome to pop up and see that.” | 37 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “Minister, do you think it would be more effective to increase funding for colleges, or should there be more funding targeted directly at employer-led training through SMEs?” | 27 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “How do you ensure that young people are trained not just in the roles and tasks we have now but in the digital and technical competencies we will need in the future?” | 32 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “What about retention? We talked a lot about bringing people in, whether that is getting people to transition or getting new people in. What work are you doing to make sure we keep those people in the clean energy sector in the long term?” | 44 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “Minister, I will give you a bit of a break. Hugo, I have a couple of questions for you. How do you see the responsibilities of the Office for Clean Energy Jobs and Skills England interacting to attract people into the sector, set career pathways and make sure training is adequate not just for now but for the future?” | 59 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “What is DESNZ specifically doing to engage with your supply chain on that and encourage it to adopt modern delivery methods? As you say, offsite construction manufacturing will smooth the transition and reduce the need for overseas labour.” | 38 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “To come at this from a different approach, what role can technology and modernised delivery methods play in reducing manual labour demands?” | 22 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “It will be a long-term reversal, which is understandable. In the short term, Clean Power 2030 will deliver a whole grid upgrade involving earthworks and non-degree labour that, I guess, will come from a migrant, imported labour market.” | 38 |
| 13 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393) “We have heard—and correct me if I am wrong—that we need imported labour to deliver Clean Power 2030. I think that is what you alluded to. What other policies that you may not have talked about so far do the Government have in place to ensure that we have home-grown talent delivering this in future?” | 55 |
| 7 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 816) “I was going to ask about funding and finance, but, just before I do, I would like to paraphrase what I have just heard. If we could find the right site, and we do not know where that site is, and if we get public money to do the viability, and we do not know if we can get that yet, we could possibly build a commercial …” | 148 |
| 7 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 816) “In your recommendations as a commission, you said that Treasury needs to expand the application of funding and financing frameworks based on the model. What changes do you think you need to see from Treasury?” | 35 |
| 7 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 816) “The challenge is also that you need grid connection. I imagine this is not in the NESO plan, so we are going to have all sorts of challenges around that. I just wanted to clarify that, because this is a great thing we could do, but we are talking about 15 years’ time, in which case the workforce challenges and capacity…” | 129 |
| 7 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 816) “So we are potentially 15 years away from being able to deliver at scale.” | 14 |
| 7 May 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 816) “I just wanted to clarify that.” | 6 |
