Debate between Laurence Robertson and Amber Rudd
Amber Rudd
I congratulate the hon. Lady on representing Europe’s green capital city. I visited Bristol last year and saw the great initiatives that are being taken. I can reassure her that we are taking action to ensure that we remain at the forefront of green targets and campaigns. She should take comfort from the action that this Government are taking.
Mr Laurence Robertson (Tewkesbury) (Con)
T8. Will the Secretary of State update the House on the progress being made towards developing fusion technology?
Amber Rudd
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority carries out fusion research on behalf of the Government. Its scientists and engineers are working with partners around the globe to develop that potential source of clean energy. It is an example of an exciting potential source of clean energy, and we are very keen to use our scientist and funds to back innovation to take our targets forward.
