25 Mar 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1804)

Just very quickly, on little notice yesterday, when she was asked, the Chancellor thought that we might get a decision on Rosebank in the autumn. There are only two seasons in politics—spring and autumn. Would you want Rosebank decided in spring or in autumn?

Your answer is spring.

Thanks for hanging in, Minister. We are at that stage where the Speaker would say, “Short questions, short answers”, so I will ask two quick topicals.

Is China a competitor for our security of supply or a threat to our security of supply?
