11 Feb 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 396)

It goes back to the word that I used in my opening statement: delivery.

Thank you so much, Chair. It is great to be here again. I want to thank the Committee and its members for your work. We came in 19 months ago with a clear mission.

Inevitably, I want people to know more about our mission. That is my job, the job of our Ministers and the job of everyone who supports our mission. I had the pleasure of reading some of your Committee’s testimony in preparing for this session, and I was particularly interested in the testimony of Luke Tryl from More i

With certain countries, we have certain approaches, and with others, we have other approaches, as have previous Governments—

As I say, just ask me any questions you like on this topic.

We are following the previous practice, as I said, but do ask me any questions about our relationship with China.

11 Feb 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 396)

I think I have explained to you the practices we are following and—

11 Feb 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 396)

Yes; I am saying to you that that is why we have to be very cautious about our energy system.

11 Feb 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 396)

That depends on the policy choices we make between now and 2030. What the Chancellor did is an important downpayment and an important measure, but the cost of living crisis is deep and long standing. That is why I think it is a start.

Oh for goodness’ sake—most definitely not.

You would have to ask them.
