Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Jones and Debbie Abrahams

Tuesday 8th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Jones]

We work very closely with the GMB and all our trade unions to ensure that we have a just energy transition and that we are creating the jobs and skills of the future by becoming a clean energy superpower.

[Debbie Abrahams (Oldham East and Saddleworth) (Lab)]
