Speeches by Onn.

“We have also had trusted privilege, as a House, in the past; we were able to see secure information and secure documents. All of us were able to go to a room and sign in to read documents on exiting the European Union, for example. There are ways and means of doing these things, and of placing trust in elected represen…”

“On the point about keeping UK oil refineries competitive, what will be the Government’s position at the European Union summit in May, in discussions on the emissions trading scheme? What will they take forward?”

“Do you think the opportunity to become a net exporter of energy will help in the narrative with the general public?”

“We have been saying that for a very long time now. I do not want to rain on your parade and I am very supportive. We have Siemens across the river in lovely Hull, and two big operations and maintenance bases in my constituency. I have long recognised that there is opportunity, but this is the same thing that has been s…”

“Okay. DESNZ has a public attitudes tracker, and the headline findings from summer last year say that in the short term 69% expect the transition to net zero to increase their living expenses, up from 65%, with only 7% saying that they expect a decrease. In the long term, 50% expected an increase in living expenses and …”

“We’ll get you back when we get 7,000 jobs.”

“Don’t tell me about Hull!”

“Do you disagree with its assessment that you are “out of touch”?”

“I wonder if there is anything that says, “This is enough” or “This is the crux of the story” and is going to sell it—something that says that we are on a trajectory to great things in the future.”

“Why have you not come to Grimsby?”

“Yet Citizens Advice says that regulators and suppliers are “out of touch” with everyday bill pressures and explicitly blames Ofgem for failing to act against unfair energy suppliers for nearly a decade, which has, as we have recognised, upset and concerned lots of people, the vulnerability around the price shocks leavi…”

“Don’t tell me about Hull!”

“You mentioned in your previous response home-grown energy. You were talking about it in the context of security—7,000 jobs, £22 billion-worth of investment—but much of it is not home grown. Our resources are home grown, some of the personnel is home grown, but much of it is not. Much of it is brought in from the Middle…”

“It is interesting, though. You say you are working with organisations like Citizens Advice and that confidence is improving. What did you say—an 82% customer satisfaction rate?”
