Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to establish Great British Energy.

We have already made good progress on setting up Great British Energy, our publicly owned energy company overwhelmingly backed by the British people at the election.

We have published legislation, now making its passage through this House, announced former Siemens chief executive Juergen Maier as the start up chair, signed its first deal with the Crown Estate, and announced the GBE Headquarters in Aberdeen, delivering on our commitment to base the company in Scotland, the beating heart of our energy industry.
