Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Baroness Maclean of Redditch and Justin Tomlinson

Tuesday 21st May 2024 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero (Justin Tomlinson)]

We absolutely will not be backing putting the shadow Secretary of State in charge of UK and British energy companies, piling misery on to consumer bills. We have unlocked £300 billion of public and private investment in low-carbon technology since 2010, with plans for £100 billion more by 2030. Last year alone, we saw an investment of £60 billion; that is up a staggering 71% on the previous year.

[Rachel Maclean (Redditch) (Con)]

T4. I know the Secretary of State understands the importance of safeguarding good agricultural land for food production. Will she update my constituents in Inkberrow and Stock Green on what more she is doing to ensure that solar panels are placed on car park and warehouse rooftops, which we have an ample number of in my constituency?
