Steve Darling

Liberal Democrat — Torbay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 March 2026

Debate

Productivity and Economic Growth: East Midlands

Contribution

Yes. Let me reflect on the three areas that we need to be driving in particular. The first is our green energy approach, which the Government have made significant steps on. I am disappointed that the previous Government had a policy that did not prioritise the new schemes. A number of zombie schemes were sticking in the system. We need only look at the shock to our economy.
