5 Feb 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 396)

Hello again, guys. Can I ask a few questions about carbon capture and storage? We heard evidence in our earlier session from the Green Alliance that CSS would have a limited contribution to the 2030 targets. Will CSS make any meaningful contribution to 2030?

Does that mean new-build gas stations that take carbon out or do you retrofit existing gas stations?

All of that is very expensive. Who should be paying for that, the consumer or the investor?

It comes from the Secretary of State. He stressed that he sees nuclear power playing a very important part in the electricity mix. The think-tank E3G’s recent power report was very critical of nuclear. It suggests that there is vulnerability to delays and closures, and it is expensive. We wonder what your view is on th

That was my final question, but I would like to ask a final, final substitute question on behalf of Josh MacAlister, who is not here. Do you agree that action needs to be taken to ensure appointments are made more swiftly to arms-length bodies related to nuclear, most notably Great British Nuclear?

When will we see an appointment?

Having accused you of being perhaps over-ambitious, can I turn to solar energy? Solar Energy UK has pressed for 60 GW of solar. The Secretary of State, when he was in front of us, said that that was a floor, but you have set targets of 45 GW to 47 GW. Why?

4 Feb 2025 Accessibility of Radiotherapy

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir John. I was very struck by the hon. Gentleman’s comment about longer journeys meaning shorter lives. There is no competition on journeys, of course, but my constituents in Na h-Eileanan an Iar and the Western Isles face some of the longest journeys in Britain to ge

What about this worry about supply chain jobs and manufacturing jobs going abroad rather than coming here?

15 Jan 2025 UK Submarine Fleet

I commend my hon. Friend for raising this issue. He talks about the increase in Russian and foreign-state activity in the waters. The role of the Royal Navy and submarine fleet in protecting us from that is vast. I welcome the announcement by the Secretary of State for Defence last week that the joint expeditionary for
