| 19 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 737) “Thank you, Minister, Jessica and Jane, for coming in. Tim Jarvis, who we heard from earlier, described a billing system where bills arrived on time and were readable, accurate and paid on time. We are a long way from that. The canary in the coalmine that you described is 60,000 consumers complaining to Citizens Advice …” | 83 |
| 19 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 737) “Apologies, Polly.” | 2 |

| 19 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 737) “Polly, can I jump in there?” | 6 |
| 19 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 737) “With a bit of muscle. Martin Lewis talked about a “flaccid” ombudsman that does not really enforce. Is there a case to make it a statutory ombudsman?” | 27 |
| 19 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 737) “That is one thing you would do to change their behaviour. What other two things would you do to make sure that these reforms go through and that suppliers are forced to serve consumers?” | 34 |
| 18 Mar 2025 | Shipyards: Economic Growth “It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Jardine, and I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for raising this subject and particularly for referring to the workforce at Ferguson Marine, who have lost out on that small vessel replacement programme, sending 170 jobs down the Swanee. Those workers were political pawn…” economy-jobsdefenceenergy | 184 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Yes—I am conscious of the time as well, Chair. Net zero will not happen without the muscle of private companies and the backing of Government but, importantly, with the consent of communities. The quickest way to get community buy-in is shared ownership. I want to ask the panel what incentives commercial developers sho…” | 84 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Welcome all. Forgive my voice—it is in my boots. I was going to ask questions about the role of local authorities, but before I do, Marna McMillin, you mentioned about communities of interest as well as communities of place. I think you will recognise a community when you see one, but this idea of community of interest…” | 69 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Okay. Speaking of money, Zoë and Louise, you have both proposed that GB Energy attaches conditions to funding grants that require local authorities to work with community energy groups. Why did you raise your concerns?” | 35 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Do you see an appetite for that Orkney example elsewhere in Scotland or elsewhere across the UK? Do you see other people wanting to do that?” | 26 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Thank you. Louise, you have quite a lot of experience in this with Net Zero Terrace Streets. What are the top tips? What can we learn from that experience?” | 29 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Yes—I am conscious of the time as well, Chair. Net zero will not happen without the muscle of private companies and the backing of Government but, importantly, with the consent of communities. The quickest way to get community buy-in is shared ownership. I want to ask the panel what incentives commercial developers sho…” | 84 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Do you think there should be a derogation, then, for schemes that have a community element or even a 100% community element?” | 22 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “I am going to go to Zoë first to ask what her experience was in Scotland and then I will come to you, Jake.” | 24 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Basically, you are saying the guidelines approach has not worked—” | 10 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “—and that there should be a mandatory approach. If GB Energy is going to be investing in lots of these schemes, should there be a minimum obligation for community share in schemes that GB Energy finances?” | 36 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “A 20% offer to get GB Energy money and grid connections more quickly as a community element. Jake, what is your view?” | 22 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Thanks. Jake, just very quickly, you talked about the community right to buy in that Infrastructure Act 2015.” | 18 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “They have never been used?” | 5 |
