Speeches by Crichton.

“Darren, you have a success story in Hull. There must be lessons from that about the obstacles and the difficulties in getting there. Can you give us a quick list of what gets in the way of building that supply chain?”

“Are these institutions risk-takers? Are they cautious? Where are they on a scale with commercial banks or commercial lending?”

“Olivia, what would help? There are these public sector institutions, such as the UK Infrastructure Bank and the British Business Bank. What do you want them to do? How can they help to create those changes?”

“Thank you, Olivia and Darren, for coming in. Before I begin, I want to pick up Luke’s point: in short, will we be buying 2030 targets off the shelf abroad, or do we have enough of a supply chain to do that here?”

“Steve, are there instances where importing would be easier or more effective even if the UK has domestic resources available?”

“What would that look like and where would it be?”

“To address our curiosity, where and what would be 15 GW?”
