It launched in 2022, attracting more than 20,000 visitors, and now talented local producer Julia Thompson is developing the concept and turning Grimsby into the destination of Havelok’s kingdom. What support can the M…”

“I was really interested in the wake effects. The industry seems to be saying, “Just leave us to it”. I do not think that is a sustainable position. We are seeing an enormous growth of wind farms. We are seeing the development of floating offshore wind farms. I refer to my register, by the way, Chair. I am sorry. I shou…”

“Chandni, I just wanted to ask a bit more of a probing question. You talked about the 10-year financing for one of your projects. What is happening that is taking 10 years? What could the new process do to reduce the amount of time that it takes? That is a lengthy period of time.”

“Local analysis shows that a direct service from Cleethorpes to London could deliver growth of over £30 million a year to our region. As well as LNER, Grand Central has launched an application to operate that service. The project is backed by local businesses, industry and constituents. Will the Minister work with me to…”

“13. What steps she is taking to improve rail access to Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes constituency.”

“Q13. Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes is the renewable energy capital of England, delivering home-grown, secure energy and boosting local skills. More than 12,000 people are employed in a clean energy job in Greater Lincolnshire, but those jobs are now under threat from Reform’s new mayor, who has declared war on renewabl…”

“Do you think the Government are confident that they can meet the challenge of matching up so many different skills, organisations and people?”

“Talking about gas fitters moving into air-source heat pumps.”

“Do you think that the Government will be expanding and developing further skills passports to try to support successful transitions from traditional industries?”

“I want to talk about how we support workforces moving from one sector to another, particularly coming from high-carbon sectors.

“Do you think the Government intend to develop the level of engagement and collaboration with industry, trade unions and education to plan the workforce, or is it now about focusing on delivery?”

“In terms of that future delivery, how will the Government be helping this Committee and others, which I am sure will be looking very closely, to monitor the success of that delivery rate?”
