“Just to build on that, Darren, in June the Government will publish their spatial plan and the 10-year infrastructure strategy. Will that give you the confidence about where they want those projects so companies such as Siemens can bring in that investment?”

“Do the Government have their priorities right on where they go with supporting supply chains? There is a clear message around Clean Power 2030. There is a very clear message around housebuilding. They arguably use a lot of the same construction and engineering supply chains. We have seen announcements on aviation, whic…”

“Listening to both of you, I do not have the feeling that there is a lot of confidence in supply chain for emerging technologies. Darren, slightly paraphrasing, you said you have confidence in the bits of the clean power plan that are established. We have just heard that perhaps there has not been the right investment i…”

“Thinking about the manufacturing sector more broadly, we are having to bring in legislation, such as EPR and others, to get industry to recycle and take ownership of the products that they create. That potentially feels like something we would have to do here to really drive industry to do it, otherwise there is no com…”

“My final question is to you, Pranesh. Picking up on the recycled economy strategy, would it be fair to say that, unless there is a commercial incentive for companies to consider recycling, they probably will not do it? That strategy has to have some proper teeth because, as we have heard, the industry has not even cons…”

“Marie-Laure, given that we have heard it is not feasible or desirable for the UK to specialise in recycling all materials in question, do you have any more views on what we perhaps should be prioritising?”

“Given that we are talking now about there being an issue on recycling, if you are doing a study into new ways of building turbines, should the dismantling and recycling be part of that study?”

“On that project that you specifically referenced with DESNZ, are you also considering recyclability?”

“Is this a global challenge? We have talked about Denmark having best practice in terms of manufacturing, but is there a global challenge here—that industry has not considered the recycling part of the job—or are other countries not having this problem?”

“Is that because composites can be manufactured in the UK?”

“You heard us finish the last panel talking about disassembly and recycling, and that is where I am picking up here. I will start with Steve but welcome input from all of you. What is required to provide more confidence to industry to invest in UK disassembly and recycling infrastructure for our clean energy technology?”

“I am coming to the end of my time, so this is my final question. Considering that global competitiveness and the supply chain in the UK, how mature is the UK supply chain compared with other developed markets?”

“If we take the emerging technologies within the clean power plan and then think about the global supply chain and global competitiveness—there are countries around the world who are also trying to invest in floating offshore wind, tidal, carbon capture, et cetera—is the UK attractive in terms of global competitiveness …”

“I just want to pick up on something, Olivia. You have mentioned this GIGA funding a few times. If we had a Minister here, I am sure the answer would be that it did not exist. Did the money actually exist? The Government committed it, but was it one of the pledges where the money is not there because it did not exist in…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stringer. I thank the campaigners who brought this petition forward, and particularly my constituent, who I mentioned earlier, for her tenacious campaigning on this issue at regular surgery appointments and for sharing some fascinating research with me. While I unde…”

“I am very grateful that one of my constituents who has campaigned hard for a smartphone ban is here today. Does the hon. Lady recognise that although we can ban phones in schools, as the majority of schools have, it will not prevent kids from bringing phones to school and playing with them when they get outside the sch…”

“I thank the hon. Member for her intervention. I am not saying that responsibility sits solely with parents, but parents definitely have a clear role to play. We cannot look solely to the state to help to raise our kids. Teachers also have a big role to play. My mum, as a teacher, could tell us how important digital lit…”
