Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)
Order. I want to get all Members in, so can we please have shorter questions and answers?
Jacob Collier (Burton and Uttoxeter) (Lab)
I welcome the Secretary of State’s statement and the fact that my local hospital will have solar panels on it thanks to this Labour Government, saving thousands of pounds that can go directly back into frontline services. What more can he do to ensure that public buildings like hospitals and prisons have solar panels fitted so that we can lower costs and contribute to our climate goals?
Ed Miliband
My hon. Friend is completely right, and it is a scheme that we want to expand. It has been incredibly successful, and it is a no-brainer—using the natural resources of the sun to cut energy bills and release money for frontline services.
