Speeches by Young.

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Stringer. The Liberal Democrats support the justification for the Rolls-Royce small modular reactor, or RR SMR, and the development of SMRs in general. We recognise their potential to strengthen energy security and reduce reliance on imported gas when they can provide …”

“One of my hard-working caseworkers attended one of the virtual surgeries that have been mentioned, but every single update they received was wrong. Lump sums, quotes, paperwork and complaint responses were all said to have been sent out, yet not one case had actually moved. My constituents feel lied to and my staff fee…”

“Freeholders on private estates currently face unregulated service charges and have no meaningful recourse if managing agents are incompetent. In January, the Minister of State for Housing committed to tackling these so-called fleecehold schemes by the end of this Parliament. However, with a new Prime Minister likely to…”

“Are we at risk of doing things now that will preclude moving to LMP later?”

“If the Government really believe that food security is national security, that must mean shortening supply chains and increasing local food production. The Secretary of State referred earlier to field to fork, but what new concrete steps will be taken under this plan to increase the proportion of food eaten in the UK t…”

“How can you make that assessment if, as Katrina says, we do not actually know what the counterfactual is—we don’t have the details of it?”

“On seeing a new development recently, I was dismayed that the developer said they were not putting in heat pumps because the cost of electricity meant that people would rather have gas boilers. Does my hon. Friend agree that if we removed the renewables obligation levy from electricity, so that we were fairly pricing e…”

“Chris, is there a case for revisiting LMP later, or has the window now closed and it is not going to be practical to introduce it?”

“What are those potential reforms, briefly?”

“As if we don’t have enough heat in the room already, I am going to go into more depth on the question of LMP versus RNP. Tom, given that other countries have adopted locational pricing, why has the UK chosen not to implement it?”

“Katrina, does LMP only provide theoretical benefits? In practice, you can use things like a strategic plan to deliver energy production in the right place.”

“On investor confidence and so on, you are concerned about the delay that happened, but we still do not know what they were evaluating against.”

“Tom, do you think RNP will incentivise the investment in infrastructure that we need? What will it mean for consumers?”

“Katrina, is RNP a mañana policy, or will it deliver meaningful outcomes by 2030?”

“Helen, you are pushing for reforms of the methodology. Would you like to comment on that or on any other specifics?”

“We have already touched on lots of things that I was going to ask about TNUoS. Jason, should demand-side signals, like removing the £0 floor on demand TNUoS, be strengthened to encourage consumption in constrained areas? What are the relative risks and benefits compared to generation-side signals?”

“So it is pretty urgent.”

“What are those potential reforms, briefly?”

“Tom, do you think RNP will incentivise the investment in infrastructure that we need? What will it mean for consumers?”

“Katrina, is RNP a mañana policy, or will it deliver meaningful outcomes by 2030?”
