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

I am really pleased that you asked that question. I am really proud of our clean energy jobs plan, which is a new departure for Government, because it sets out not just our ambition for 400,000 extra jobs in relation to clean energy, but how we are going to go about the process of making sure we have the workforce avai

It is obviously important to take into account the impact of data centres.

Candidly, the question about what they took into account for their projections is a matter for them. It is obviously something that we will scrutinise as part of our response to CB7. Let me just go to the more general question—

You would have to ask them.

Oh for goodness’ sake—most definitely not.

I don’t know the answer, but I am happy to find out.

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

We are going to move as soon as we can on these questions. I can get back to you on the precise timetable—

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

As I say, we are following the practices of the previous Government.

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

This is a discussion we should continue to have. The principle that you set out, which is when communities live near large-scale energy infrastructure they should benefit from it, I agree with; that is community benefit in a broad sense. Specifically, the excitement for me of the local power plan is that it is a shift

I have given an answer. I do not have any more to add to the answers I gave.

Even when the sun is not shining, Sir Christopher, solar works.

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

I completely agree. I said in my statement yesterday that it was very important to look at questions of not just the financial barriers that community energy groups face or the capacity barriers, but the system barriers. That is one of the discussions that we are going to have. Sometimes you do things in politics and y

We are moving as soon as we can.

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

As I say, we are following the previous practice—

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

You’re really wrong about that.

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—
