New Homes (Solar Generation) Bill

Judith Cummins Excerpts

2nd reading
Friday 17th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Claire Hughes]

I absolutely agree, and that is why we need to get this right, not just on rooftop solar but on the skills for retrofitting and in low-carbon heating in general. A lot of work needs to be done to ensure that businesses have the skills so that we can expand and do what we need with this whole agenda.

We need to ensure that local businesses benefit from the jobs and supply chain opportunities that the expansion of low-carbon heating and rooftop solar would provide, because tackling climate change and increasing living standards go hand in hand. It is critical that we get this right across the piece.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

I call the shadow Minister.
