Debate on the AddressTuesday, 19 May 2026

Continuation of the debate on the King’s Speech: Proposed subject for debate: Energy security

MPs will continue debating the King's Speech with a focus on energy security. This continuation of the address debate allows the Commons to examine the government's energy policy and how it plans to ensure reliable, affordable power supplies while meeting net-zero commitments. The debate will likely cover energy independence, grid resilience, investment in renewables, and support for consumers facing bills.

Energy security is central to economic competitiveness, household finances, and industrial viability. MPs from all parties will scrutinise whether the government's approach balances affordability for consumers, investment in infrastructure, and decarbonisation targets—issues affecting millions of households and businesses across the country.
