Speeches by Young.

“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?”

“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.”

“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?”

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

“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…”

“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?”

“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…”

“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?”

“I have a question around this, following on from what you have said. We have been told that a large portion of the real economy already agrees on net zero pathways and is taking steps. Is the Government’s role to encourage the portion that are not, or is a large portion of the real economy heading in not quite the righ…”

“When I met Chipping Sodbury chamber of commerce recently, business owners told me that the business rates system is broken and unfair, in part because it is based on turnover, not profit. In response to a letter, the Exchequer Secretary promised to bear in mind the points that I had raised ahead of future Budgets. Does…”

“5. What steps she is taking to reform business rates.”

“The lives of people in and around Pilning are blighted by giant warehouses being built under outdated 1950s planning consents, which lack modern safeguards. The Severnside Warehouse Action group has already presented a petition with over 2,500 signatures to South Gloucestershire council, and it now has over 3,500 signa…”

“On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wonder if you could assist the House. The Department for Transport has this afternoon published the Heathrow expansion national policy statement, the HENPS, alongside supporting documents in a major consultation. Given the significance of this decision, with implications for…”

“Nearly seven years ago, National Highways spent £40 million building a ghost junction on the M49 that was left entirely unconnected to the local road network. South Gloucestershire council stepped in and is on track to complete the slip road this year, but National Highways now tells me that the junction is unsafe and …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Hobhouse. I thank the hon. Member for Meriden and Solihull East (Saqib Bhatti) for securing this debate. The Lamb Inn in Iron Acton was built in 1690. It is believed that Mary and William of Orange stayed there. It is a real community pub that has been run by Tracey a…”

“I agree. The Swan has been taking on apprentices, but many pubs are unable to do so because of the challenges. There is often a lack of opportunities in our villages and, with transport issues, it can be difficult to travel to places where they can be found. On business rates, Liberal Democrats have consistently called…”

“I absolutely agree. I could also highlight many other anomalies that affect the wider hospitality and attraction industry. At the Horseshoe in Chipping Sodbury, I met Matthew Lewis of the Independent Pub Alliance. The ask from the pub trade is not complicated: stability, fairness and a Government who understand that th…”

“It is not having much of an impact. Verity, what do domestic refineries offer UK manufacturers over imports from friendly nations?”
