Speeches by Hinchliff.

“I am going to be cheeky and ask a further follow-up question. Does early next year mean Q1—will we be as lucky as that?”

“Will the Minister give way?”

“Minister Doughty, we have recently heard from Jane about frustrations and impasse in the state of international relations. Evidence heard from the previous committee during its inquiry raised substantial concerns around the management of fisheries in Antarctica. Reports from the 43rd annual meeting of CCAMLR criticise …”

“You are confident that progress is still possible?”

“You are confident that progress is still possible?”

“Given that you have just talked to us there about a situation in which consensus has not been possible, in which you have not been able to find an agreement, and the risks that that is raising, what specific actions can or is the FCDO taking to try to move beyond that and create a way around some of these geopolitical …”

“Residents in towns and villages across my constituency want an efficient and accountable planning system. Could the Minister set out in more detail how he sees these plans interacting with processes around master planning and the negotiation of planning conditions?”

“To return to recent announcements, could I tempt you to comment on the coherence of Budget measures relating to the decarbonisation of transport? Are there any measures that you would like to see us recommending to the Government when it comes to fiscal measures and the decarbonisation of transport?”

“Good afternoon gentleman. To think in general terms about where we are off track and on track for delivery, we have heard just now that where we are off track is in part because of some of the assumptions in our thinking not being borne out in the long term, around the weight of cars, for example, and some of the effic…”

“Many of my constituents will be impacted by this deeply worrying announcement, so can the Secretary of State confirm what discussions he is having with trade unions on this specific subject and what plans he has to mitigate the job losses for residents of North East Hertfordshire?”

“Within your 2024 report you set out 10 priority actions, which cover a number of areas. Would delivery of these actions be sufficient to achieve the Sixth Carbon Budget?

Looking at the figures announced in the Budget, would you say that the up-front support for incentivising heat decarbonisation and also th…”

“Given the importance that you have given to electricity prices this afternoon—again, you might give me the same answer here—but would the Committee recommend any further fiscal measures for the Government to consider in addressing the gas/electricity price ratio?”

“We have heard quite a lot about land supply this afternoon. Housing, of course, is only one of the demands that we have on our land at the moment, alongside food security, energy security, transport, nature restoration targets for woodland cover. As has been alluded to, we already have exceptionally fragmented and degr…”
