Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Rosie Cooper and Chris Skidmore

Tuesday 16th July 2019 Commons Chamber

[Chris Skidmore]

We recently announced £26 million for, I think, 11 carbon capture, utilisation and storage projects across the UK, including Project Acorn in Scotland. I visited Tata Chemicals in Cheshire, which is the largest project in the UK; it is 100 times larger than other projects. The Committee on Climate Change report is absolutely clear that 50% of our carbon emission reductions will come from CCUS. We must continue to invest in that more and then take those innovations across the globe.

T6. Could the Secretary of State respond to the findings of Citizens Advice that utility companies have overcharged customers by £24 billion over 15 years?

NHS Risk Register

Debate between Rosie Cooper and Chris Skidmore

Wednesday 22nd February 2012 Commons Chamber

[Chris Skidmore]

The Government do not have to publish the updated registers on the basis of the Information Commissioner’s verdict, which was on the autumn 2010 register. That is the Information Commissioner’s advice that is referred to in the motion. The Opposition are asking for an out-of-date document—we might as well give up and go home.

Is the hon. Gentleman aware of the comments made by David Nicholson, the chief executive of the NHS Commissioning Board, who said:

“I’ll not sit here and tell you that the risks have not gone up. They have”?

[Chris Skidmore]

I am, as I have the parliamentary Labour party brief—I can see that that is on the back of it.
