Speeches by Young.

“Are five-year periods of price control long enough to incentivise suppliers and consumers to take up flexibility?”

“At the distribution level, that is more flexible?”

“I want to talk about the distribution use of system costs. Jonathan, obviously we have had some delay and some chopping and changing when it comes to the significant code review, but could you say how much you think we might see distribution network investment costs go up in the future? Do you think they are going to e…”

“It does not need the same level of deployment. Does that long-term plan make much difference in that context? I can see why it is very important for the distribution network—the higher-voltage ends of the distribution network—but ultimately you can make decisions on a much more short-term basis when you see what is hap…”

“I just want to follow up on what you are saying: the retailers are not where you think the profiteering is, but they have also hedged against things by their forward pricing. What is the knock-on impact beyond them in the market? Is our price cap mechanism in isolation not significant enough to have an effect on that w…”

“Small charities with excepted charity status, including many individual scout and guide groups, do not have a registered charity number. 1st Ram Hill Scouts in my constituency tell me that they reckon they are excluded from about 80% of grants because they lack a charity number. Does the hon. Member agree that that is …”

“This conflict has grounded travellers at Doha, including a constituent who has three young children waiting at home. Following the Prime Minister’s conversation with Qatari leaders, can he explain how evacuations will be prioritised, and what support is being provided on the ground to those who were expecting simply to…”

“The Government have made some welcome commitments on education, but schools are then left to fulfil them. We have seen with free school meals, breakfast clubs and teacher pay awards that each time the funding falls short, and headteachers are left to make up the difference from budgets that are already on their knees. …”

“Mark, we have talked about Monday to Thursday jobs and that has historically been the situation for many of the elite jobs. Should all major projects be obligated to secure lasting community benefits so that the local community is securing some of these jobs? If so, how?”

“Is there a danger sometimes that the focus on local jobs is on the lower-paid ones requiring fewer qualifications?”

“How can you secure that commitment? Is there a particular formal mechanism?”

“David, do you think there are any lessons that can be learnt about developing a workforce pipeline for future sites, either from the current UK nuclear sites or international projects?”

“I want to ask a few questions about how the Government can stimulate lasting private investment in nuclear skills. Sue, you have already talked about the need for a long-term plan for the certainty, but are there any other things that the Government can do to incentivise private sector investment in nuclear skills and …”

“Given we have had this long gap, we are stuck in the middle, aren’t we, in that we have a history of nuclear but we have had a long break?”

“Given we have had this long gap, we are stuck in the middle, aren’t we, in that we have a history of nuclear but we have had a long break?”

“Are there other examples internationally?”
