Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Harriet Cross and Lindsay Hoyle

Tuesday 17th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

But it is not my legacy—do not worry.

[Harriet Cross (Gordon and Buchan) (Con)]

The Secretary of State, the Minister for Energy and the Minister for Consumers have all said in this House that the National Energy System Operator’s report shows that the Government’s 2030 target will lower energy bills. However, the report itself explicitly says that it does not do so, and the chief executive officer of the NESO told the Energy Security and Net Zero Select Committee last week that it “did not set out” to determine “what bills are for consumers.” Will the Minister explain those inconsistencies and take the opportunity to correct the record?
