| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Tom, there are problems with it, but would you describe CfD as the gold standard internationally?” | 16 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Is the supply chain ready for that?” | 7 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “I will keep it brief because time is running short. Before you were interrupted, Ana, we were having this discussion on AR7 and CfDs. There is quite a lot of demand from industry, saying that the budget was not big enough for AR7. How does the Department balance that demand from industry, “If we are going to make this …” | 82 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “On CfDs and allocation round 7, the Secretary of State kind of increased the budget after the bids did not come in. Why does he not do it the other way? Why does he not set a low budget and then increase it if he has to?” | 47 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “A cheeky last question. Tom, you mentioned the North sea; what would keep us going in the North sea for the next 20, 30 years if companies are facing 78% levies on their profits?” | 34 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “If we got rid of ROCs or got rid of the renewable obligations that would have a huge effect on domestic bills, would it not? As Michael says, there is no mechanism to replace it as yet is there?” | 39 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “So we are locked into that?” | 6 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Michael, to go back to renewables obligations, you said that 16 GW of ROs is going to end quite soon and that 10% would move on to CfDs. Would it make sense to reform renewable obligations or turn it into something else or abolish it?” | 45 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Some people are making a lot of money out of consumers.” | 11 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Or the £500 per bill that is the energy sector’s profits from doing this?” | 14 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “You have not added the £174 per household that comes from millionaires, electricity traders, profiteering, have you?” | 17 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “There is this £2.8 billion that we could have put to that as well.” | 14 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “You said 15% of a bill is levies.” | 8 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “That is interesting.” | 3 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “The Budget gives £150 off bills by removing the renewables obligation, taking that off the bills and putting it into general taxation.” | 22 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | EU Exit: Economic Growth “Has the Treasury made any assessment of the SNP’s plans to separate Scotland from its main market, the rest of the UK, which accounts for 60% of its trade? While I am at it, may I thank the Chancellor for the £820 million extra for the Scottish budget?” economy-jobsfiscal-policy | 48 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Eric, what do I have to do as an individual and what do the Government have to do to step off this tipping point, to get away from this tipping point?” | 31 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “We have talked a lot about economics. Thank you all for coming in and for your stark evidence on what you, Eric, called this very shallow support for net zero. You described it as useless jargon. Emma, you have told us how there is stark evidence that people just do not get it, do not understand what climate change is.…” | 202 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Yes, I get that, but looking for heat pumps by 2050, when you see it says that we can lose 60% of GDP within 20 years, it is a lot more urgent than that than persuading people to get going by 2050.” | 42 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Hugh, what is the cost of doing nothing, of me doing nothing, personally?” | 13 |
