Commons ChamberOn Gloucestershire Day, it is a great pleasure to take that question from my hon. Friend, and the answer is yes.
Renewables are very important everywhere across the United Kingdom, but one of the problems for renewables is getting access to the grid. The Electric Storage Company in Northern Ireland has told me that if that was improved, energy could be stored for access to the grid. Can the Secretary of State tell us what he could do to make that happen?
I would like to hear more from the hon. Gentleman about this, and I am very happy to meet him to talk about it.
