| 17 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Could we copy other people who have proven technology?” | 9 |
| 17 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “We have heard in previous evidence sessions that, because the UK was at the forefront of other technologies, such as wind, we paid a premium to develop that technology. Taxpayers paid a premium and we did not see the manufacturing base built out. Is this not the same? Again, we are talking about subsidies paying a prem…” | 105 |
| 17 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 735) “Sam, my final question is to you. Is the road map clear enough around how Government are going to stimulate the manufacturing and engineering that we need around these developments? The evidence that we have seen in other sectors, such as wind or solar, is that we have had the technology, but we have not had the legacy…” | 75 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Tom, I might as well give you one as well and then I will go on to my real questions. [Laughter.] Everyone else is up to it today. Tom, you are an expert—” | 33 |

Are we not agile enough as a Government to deal with this market? Are they running rings ar…” | 63 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Just before I come on to my questions, I have been listening intently. There is a lot of talk here about trading, hedging, bidding and how the energy price works. It does sound as though there are practices here that would make the Wolf of Wall Street blush. Is there enough regulation and control of this market, or are…” | 83 |

| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Do you think we are relying too much on ETS and having CBAM realignment? The evidence I have heard is that for Europe it is not a priority, and it would put their bills up so why would they want to agree to it? The UK seems very certain that we must have better UK-EU alignment, get CBAM-aligned and our bills come down …” | 78 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Tom, this is obviously a priority for the UK. Is it a priority for the EU to get a better arrangement with the UK? We have heard evidence that in France cross-border trading is blamed for higher prices.” | 38 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “It is a very quick one. Tom, in reading, you are an expert in market arrangements, regulation and policy. Do you think that Ofgem is an effective regulator in controlling the energy markets and controlling the cost to the consumer?” | 40 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 736) “Michael, I will come back to the questions in front of me and I will talk about cross-border trading.
