[Ed Miliband]

Yes, that sounds really good. Community energy is a crucial part of our energy future.

[Sir Edward Leigh (Gainsborough) (Con)]

T7. The Secretary of State and I are near neighbours. Will he take a short car journey to Gainsborough to visit the new fusion site at West Burton? It is probably the most exciting development in green energy that we have ever had in this country, creating unlimited jobs and unlimited green energy. Will he join me in Gainsborough?

[Ed Miliband]
