| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “What we lack is this derogation of status for community energy in the planning process, and we lack a definition of community energy as well.” | 25 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “It just strikes me that 4% is peanuts—” | 8 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “It was not a private—” | 5 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Was it a private individual?” | 5 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “I will try to be quick. First, I am intrigued by this court case, Jenny. When you said 4% of turnover was going to the community, where was the rest of it going?” | 33 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Can I put that question the other way? Your to-do list—who needs to get it done? Who needs to tell these guys to do it?” | 25 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Who do they have to be told by?” | 8 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “What you are describing there is what GB Energy should be doing.” | 12 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Tanjua and Emily, if we get to the stage where community energy projects are a material consideration in planning; we define what community is and what benefit comes to my community; and I am a councillor sitting on a planning application where, if I approve this planning application, that money is going to come to my …” | 77 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “That is what I was going to come to. Eleanor, I know a community when I see one, but simply pretending that something is a community energy company does not make it a community energy company. So how do we get that definition and just guarantee it?” | 47 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Yes, good connections are a nightmare—and that is another chapter—but planning can be a nightmare as well. Would it not be easier to get community energy off the ground and off the runway if community ownership were a material consideration in planning? You have more experience than anyone on that, Emily.” | 51 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “From all the answers, I get the idea that GB Energy is not taking the lessons from Lewes and replicating them in Manchester, so that Manchester does not have to reinvent the wheel again.” | 34 |
| 11 Nov 2025 | Remembrance Day: Armed Forces “Madam Deputy Speaker, it was a pleasure to join you today at the remembrance service in Westminster Hall, and it was an honour to attend services in Tarbert, Harris in my constituency and at the Lewis war memorial in Stornoway at the weekend. The years are passing, but the numbers attending are not diminishing, which i…” defenceculture-community | 889 |
| 11 Nov 2025 | Support for Dyslexic Pupils “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Butler. I pay tribute to the hon. Member for Yeovil (Adam Dance) and my hon. Friend the Member for Broxtowe (Juliet Campbell) for leading on this very important issue. In the short time that I have, I want to give a perspective from Scotland, where the Government state…” education | 637 |
| 30 Oct 2025 | Trading Relationships “I welcome the Secretary of State to his place and invite him to Benbecula Distillery in my place. It is a dramatic lighthouse distillery, and a great addition to the landscape. It recently secured £1.5 million from the British Business Bank’s investment fund. Benbecula’s distillery is one of a chain of small distilleri…” economy-jobsdefence | 109 |
| 30 Oct 2025 | Trading Relationships “12. What steps his Department is taking to improve the UK's trading relationships with other countries.” economy-jobsdefence | 16 |

| 29 Oct 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1206) “I seek a simple clarification, because I did not know what it was, so I assume the public will not either. Can somebody explain what CBAM is?” | 27 |
| 29 Oct 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1206) “I guess you did not just wake up one morning and decide to do it. How difficult is it to transition from fuel, carbon and refineries to—” | 27 |
| 29 Oct 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1206) “What is the refinery sector as a proportion of carbon tax in the UK? Do you pay most of the carbon tax, 2% of it or 10% of it? Do you know?” | 32 |
