The noble Earl, Lord Effingham, said that we need to look at how the energy market operates and that it is all part of the same issue. The key thing here is breaking our dependence on fossil fuel markets and volatile global gas prices. He mentioned nuclear; we are investing very strongly in new nuclear, including SMRs. That will be an important way forward in taking us off our fossil fuel dependence, as is the investment that we are making in renewable energy markets.
