Speeches by Crichton.

“Some 40% of flight diversions from Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra airports in my constituency could have been avoided if we were part of EGNOS, which was shamefully abandoned during Brexit by the Conservatives. As the right hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Mr Carmichael) pointed out, this has huge social and financ…”

“This is a quick question, Dan, because you alluded to it. The Chinese company Ming Yang has been blocked from opening a big turbine factory in the highlands today on security grounds. Is that the right decision by the UK Government?”

“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?”

“This is pen-stroke policy. It is just changing the policy, is it not? That is all it needs.”

“Just picking up on the carbon border adjustment mechanism, Elizabeth, that is about nitrogen as well, is it not? It is about fertiliser.”

“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?”

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

“Staying on turbines, lost yesterday in a blizzard of news was this idea that, rather than paying wind farms to switch off, constraint payments, you would take the money to provide cheaper or free electricity to areas that hosted wind farms. You want a pilot. We want to see it fast and we want to see it in Scotland, don…”

“Your answer is spring.”

“In that case, my questions are done.”

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

“Thank you all for coming in. I am sorry I was late coming into the session after delaying you for an hour. Alex, you talked there about stable prices and markets. Earlier, you seemed to make quite a good argument for the energy profits levy, because it gives us politicians lots of money to decide what to do with. What …”

“Do you have a sign that it is going to change its mind on it?”

“This is pen-stroke policy. It is just changing the policy, is it not? That is all it needs.”

“This is pen-stroke policy. It is just changing the policy, is it not? That is all it needs.”

“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. Today, on the incredible convergence of national security, the energy transition and jobs, when you took that decision to block Ming Yang and the £1.5 billion investment…”

“What was unfair about it?”
