Speeches by Stewart.

“Does my hon. Friend share my disappointment that when we raised the issue of George Square at the Scottish Affairs Committee, the organisers of the games had not thought about the problems that the closure of the square would cause for people attending the games?”

“Are the fixed links projects reliant on support from the UK Government?”

“Mr Sloan, based on your experience from international projects, what benefits have you observed from comparable fixed links?”

“This is for you both. Beyond financial contributions, what other forms of support do you think the UK Government should be giving?”

“The Island Strategic Partnership has called on the UK Government to be involved in Shetland’s tunnel proposal. Given that transport is devolved, why do you think that the UK Government should be involved in that?”

“Have there been any unintended consequences or lessons that the UK could learn, in your view?”

“What is the breakdown for how that £1 billion of funding will be allocated across the four nations?”

“Minister, why is the target of generating 8 GW of community energy by 2030 included in the clean power action plan but not the local power plan?”

“The Scottish Government are piloting giving communities the opportunity to lease land to repower wind farms. What assessment has been made of that model? Can it be adopted across the UK?”

“After the recent global energy shock, how realistic is the Government’s target to reduce bills by £300 by 2030?”

“Minister, what are the biggest barriers to this Government successfully achieving clean power by 2030?”

“Minister, we know that we need a huge mix of energy to get to that target. What challenges have you met trying to engage the Scottish Government over nuclear energy?”

“Are there any examples of best practice of implementing emergency plans in such cases?”

“I suspect the resilience that you are all bringing in should hopefully bring some of the customers back to you. Would that be what you would be looking for?”

“What measures are providers putting in place to address the climate-related risks and reducing single points of failure on the network?”

“Thinking back to the 2025 outage, how many customers were affected and for how long? That is to each of you, so I will start with you, Ms Davidson.”

“How many days were you out for?”

“On the back of that, how many customers have left your network as a result of that disruption?”

“We know from the impact of Storm Amy in Tiree that telecoms systems suffered critical failure. Residents often don’t know who to turn to for support. What do you think can be done for greater clarity for residents in the aftermath of failure of such critical systems?”
