You have more experience than anyone on that, Emily.” | 51 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “From all the answers, I get the idea that GB Energy is not taking the lessons from Lewes and replicating them in Manchester, so that Manchester does not have to reinvent the wheel again.” | 34 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Thank you all for coming in. I will get into the weeds of planning as well. First, to pick up on what Mike was asking about this network of sharing and that skills gap, I want to ask you all what your experience of GB Energy is, because the Government set up GB Energy. There is a huge commitment to community energy in …” | 75 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “For example, my local authority is planning to take a 20% stake in commercial wind farms that it would be the planning authority over. There is a loop there.” | 29 |

| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “To get to where we want to get—getting community energy as a material consideration in planning—should things like a wholly owned community energy scheme be ahead of one that is only 4% or one that is 20%?” | 37 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Do we need different levels?” | 5 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Very good. That is one definition of community energy. Then you have your community energy group, which is only 4%. I would not define that as community led—” | 28 |

The years are passing, but the numbers attending are not diminishing, which i…” defenceculture-community | 889 |
| 11 Nov 2025 | Support for Dyslexic Pupils “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Butler. I pay tribute to the hon. Member for Yeovil (Adam Dance) and my hon. Friend the Member for Broxtowe (Juliet Campbell) for leading on this very important issue. In the short time that I have, I want to give a perspective from Scotland, where the Government state…” education | 637 |
| 30 Oct 2025 | Trading Relationships “I welcome the Secretary of State to his place and invite him to Benbecula Distillery in my place. It is a dramatic lighthouse distillery, and a great addition to the landscape. It recently secured £1.5 million from the British Business Bank’s investment fund. Benbecula’s distillery is one of a chain of small distilleri…” economy-jobsdefence | 109 |

| 29 Oct 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1206) “I seek a simple clarification, because I did not know what it was, so I assume the public will not either. Can somebody explain what CBAM is?” | 27 |

| 29 Oct 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1206) “One more question to Harriet. It is not just the workers who have been left behind.
