Speeches by Hobhouse.

“Do you have any ideas for how to fix that? Should we stop the whole thing? Is it a fantasy—should we not go any further with it? How else can we fix it?”

“Before the meeting, we had our private meeting and we talked about the loss and damage fund, but I do not want to go into that because that opens a whole other can of worms.”

“Thank you. The Chair will get impatient with me if we do not stop, but thank you very much.”

“Could you explain how that relationship could develop between your private finance partner and your community partnerships or local partnerships? How should I imagine that that relationship works?”

“Very much like we heard in Canada, we import their gas because it is cleaner gas than other gas because they vent their methane. I get it that it is those actions. Can I follow up on that? How do the UK energy transition and Clean Power by 2030 inform the Government’s implementation of just energy transitions in other …”

“You mentioned earlier the co-benefits of moving away from fossil fuels in economic opportunities. Are the Government communicating that well enough at home and abroad?”

“I will come back to the global stocktake, which Britain recognises. As I understand it, that is not just about understanding what our emissions are but also the pace of reducing our emissions. Professor Sutton, you mentioned earlier that there is a partnership with the University of Bristol to particularly measure meth…”

“There is a consensus that the UK needs to increase the provision of international climate finance to sustain its credibility and climate leadership. My question is getting to understand how non-state actors can help deliver on the UK’s commitment to developing countries. Eliot, you suggested that mechanisms such as the…”

“I recently visited Ralph Allen school in my constituency and saw how students were leading the way in improving the standard of their food. They have created a vegetable bed in an empty space, and are now offering vegan and vegetarian choices. How will the Department support schools in pupil-led improvements to their f…”

“How about that for timekeeping? I thank every Member for staying so disciplined within the time limit.”

“Minister, please watch the time.”

“After this debate, we all feel very thirsty for an ice-cold lemonade.”

“I will call Liz Twist to move the motion and then call the Minister to respond. I remind other Members that they may make a speech only with prior permission from the Member in charge of the debate and the Minister. As is the convention in 30-minute debates, there will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to …”

“I want to have time to go back to David, but before I do, Claire, do you agree that decommissioning roles can bridge the job security to the green economy? Just very quickly—yes or no.”

“I am on a timer now to make sure that we stay within time. Before I come to decommissioning, Claire, you mentioned workers do not feel supported in the transition. Who do they blame for that? Is that the employers who do not support them, or is it the Government that do not set up the direction? We have heard about the…”

“Before I call the Minister, I remind him to leave a couple of minutes at the end for the Member in charge to wind up.”

“I encourage everybody who wants to speak to bob. I intend to call the Front Benchers at about 3.28 pm, which gives everybody else an informal time limit of four minutes. If Members do not stick to that, I will have to put on a formal, and shorter, limit, so please respect each other. I thank Saqib Bhatti for sticking v…”

“How could decommissioning be arranged so that the taxpayer does not pick up the bill? What I am getting at is that decommissioning can be set off against profits that the company makes, but what stops companies from walking away at the point where they do not make the profits any more, and leave the decommissioning to …”
