| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “Ms Thomas, what about yourselves?” | 5 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “Yes, of course. I was asking what involvement you had had in that consultation document.” | 15 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “Thank you. I would like to do a Bamber Gascoigne and divide you up, give you each your starter for 10, but with no conferring on the next one. Whereas one of you is responsible for the licensing and the seabed, and owning the leases, it is the regulator that does the statutory planning. What I want to know is how you c…” | 131 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “We will come to the local considerations in a minute.” | 10 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “Okay. How is the 45 to 50 GW that the Government have predicated of offshore wind by 2030 influencing your leasing process? How are you co-ordinating with Government to ensure that those leases are available? How are you doing it in such a way that it is not impacting on marine protected areas that are already establis…” | 62 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “I was asking you for the good things that you are trying to do ahead of time while pointing out that some good things have already been done that you have not yet implemented. You did undertake to do so by the end of last year and of course good ecological status was promised by 2020, and we still do not have it. We co…” | 135 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “Ms Willis, you said that you work very closely with DESNZ. Last month it published the “Building the North Sea’s Energy Future” consultation. Did you work closely with it on that? That consultation document talks about the transition from oil and gas to clean energy, but it does not seem to focus on the challenges of m…” | 59 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “I was trying to lead in gently.” | 7 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “Minister, we heard that you are at the point of trying to get BBNJ ocean treaty ratified, which is great news, and you talked about the work that is being done that will mean that you can get on with it quickly. We heard from the witness earlier today from the MMO that they have completed their work on stage 3 and that…” | 75 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “You did not have any input into that consultation document.” | 10 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “No, I am asking you specifically about this consultation document. I am asking you about that because, while it focuses on environmental considerations in terms of oil and gas, it does not recognise the challenges of marine spatial planning or the environmental impact of renewable energy developments and the wider envi…” | 72 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “Absolutely. Before DESNZ published its consultation on building the North sea’s energy future last month, what input did you have?” | 20 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “That is if I can remember the question; I have so many. When we are considering features-based MPAs, it seems to me that when you talk about the seabirds, for example, that is the feature on which it was designated. It is immobile. The seabirds are in that spot for a particular reason, usually because it is feeding gro…” | 264 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “We heard that there might be alternate MPAs providing that, but of course the MPAs that we have established were the ones that were most important for those features and, therefore, to get that elsewhere will be difficult. [Interruption.]” | 39 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551) “We have had talk at the Committee of changing the designation so that we could put in, for example, windmills. Look, I am all in favour of our renewables targets, but I want to get clarity on this.” | 38 |
| 27 Mar 2025 | Business of the House “I was proud to be in this House when Tony Blair and Gordon Brown established the Department for International Development, and when they established the Drop the Debt campaign. I was proud when the Leader of the House and I stood for election on a manifesto that committed us to restoring the international aid budget to…” fiscal-policyeconomy-jobshealth | 80 |
| 24 Mar 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-24) “The EIP is going to be refreshed. I am just trying to get the staging now and the timing of things. If you are refreshing the EIP this year, when do you intend to make proposals for the next one? Is that going to be in 2028 or will there be a fresh EIP this year? That would then give you the five-year process to 2030, …” | 101 |
| 24 Mar 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-24) “I understand. It was just clarity I wanted, and I think it is very sensible planning. Will each goal in the new plan have a clear apex target? One of the things that was criticised by Dame Glenys in the—” | 40 |
| 24 Mar 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-24) “I have all the other ones.” | 6 |
| 24 Mar 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-24) “I was interested in your response to my colleague Sarah Gibson when you said about the flood alleviation scheme and that we are putting more into flood defence. You may know that the Committee has just come back from Holland—” | 40 |
