Speeches by Murray.

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the housing needs of young people. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Butler. Everyone has the right to a safe, secure and healthy home, yet for far too many young people across the United Kingdom, that feels increasingly out of reach. The effects go far bey…”

“How do you expect that to affect participation in Scotland in contracts for difference round 8?”

“Thank you. You mentioned Ofgem. What discussions, if any, have you had with Ofgem about the potential mitigations for projects that might become unviable due to rising transmission charges?”

“The SNP is willing to support the Chinese economy by buying buses from China that raise serious security concerns, but when it comes to supporting defence jobs at the British-owned Rolls-Royce site in Glasgow, it pulled the funding. Does the Secretary of State agree with me that the SNP is failing Scotland both on jobs…”

“You have mentioned the effect of the cost of the product, if you like, on bills, but transmission charges in Scotland’s renewables sector are expected to double by 2029-30. What assessment have the Government made of the impact on Scotland’s renewable sector relative to the rest of the UK?”

“Telephones or—”

“Neil, how does TalkTalk consider that?”

“You have mentioned that the power backup to mobile sites is in Ofcom’s field of vision at the moment. It is considering whether it needs to further assess a requirement for sites to be backed up for four hours. Is that currently part of Ofcom’s guidance, that they do have to have this four-hour power backup?”

“The same as them being able to switch providers without any penalty?”

“Thank you very much. To continue on the contracts, when customers enter a contract with you, what information do you provide them about the resilience arrangements that are in place? Also, do you consider it to be part of your social obligation as a provider to make sure that the customers understand the conditions tha…”

“Do you feel that using median values for the UK is appropriate when deciding how long battery backup should be, because of the need to provide an equal service to the islands and remote and rural areas?”

“I am very interested to hear you all talking about the competitive environment in terms of providing the infrastructure. I absolutely hear what you say, but I would like to hear what you think about the competitive environments for your customers. Under your obligation to provide resilience, is there a clause in the co…”

“Thank you. Will your customer communications ensure that your ability to deliver resilience will be included in communications going forward?”

“Is that the same for you, Mr Smith?”

“Do you think those measures are enough to mitigate the risks or do you think that there is room to go further?”

“It would also be interesting to hear your view of how the progress of R100 is going.”

“This is directed to Ms Davidson and Mr Smith. We understand in correspondence with customers that you have discussed potential future involvement, such as additional subsea cable and satellite technologies. Could you confirm whether you have any concrete plans to improve your network resilience through satellite?”

“Does the hon. Lady agree that UK production in the North sea can never put us in a position like Norway, because Margaret Thatcher gave away our oil industry to private companies and we have no sovereign fund?”

“The development of the nuclear site at Wylfa in Wales is set to bring thousands of jobs and revitalise the local community. A similar site near my constituency would play an enormous role in the shift away from oil and gas towards energy independence and bringing costs down. Will the Leader of the House ask the Ministe…”

“Where do you think that that money should be spent to best benefit Scottish needs?”
