Speeches by Young.

“That will be fine. Claire, are you confident the envisaged jobs and careers in repurposing will match existing ones in oil and gas in pay conditions and duration?”

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

“I would like to talk about the interdependency with refineries. Elizabeth, when you came to see us in October you talked about how vital refineries are. How have international events since you gave evidence to us impacted the role of refineries in the UK’s oil and gas sector?”

“Do you not accept, as the Climate Change Committee says, that we need CCS?”

“We heard in the last session that the oil to be refined in the refineries is imported from elsewhere. We have that interdependence, do we not, with other countries, even with our refining sector?”

“Do you think that delays to sanctioning the import of refined fuels from Russian crude undermine efforts to support the domestic refining capacity?”

“Why do you say only a dozen? We have figures here of 78 billion tonnes of theoretical storage capacity. Could we not become an international storage service?”

“David, I would like to talk about carbon repurposing for carbon capture, usage, and storage, but first can I go back to your earlier answer? When you were asked why the employees do not feel supported by the operators, you deflected with an answer about, “We are telling them that their jobs are dirty.” I do not think t…”

“David, you have been very clear throughout the session that you think that the Government should be prioritising domestic production. Yet we do not have a situation in this country, as there is in Norway, where there is Government ownership; it is a market-based approach. We know that it is much more expensive to extra…”

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

“We are not talking about refined products coming from Russia, we are talking about—”

“You said that after every shock it becomes more resilient, but Elizabeth seemed to be suggesting that nothing has changed; that it may have given Government a greater understanding, but that has not translated into anything. In what way has it become more resilient?”

“Do you think that delays to sanctioning the import of refined fuels from Russian crude undermine efforts to support the domestic refining capacity?”

“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…”

“Do you not accept, as the Climate Change Committee says, that we need CCS?”

“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…”

“In the North sea you are saying the problem is that the jobs will have already gone, so you are not moving straight to having those carbon capture-related jobs.”
