If these increases are not delivered, it would have a negative impact on achieving clean power by 2030, which could expose bill payers to volatile global gas prices for longer. This amendment intends to safeguard the best and most versatile agricultural land. The Government agree, as I have said, that food security is national security. Meeting both energy security and climate change goals is urgent and of critical importance to the Government, and these goals can be achieved together with maintaining food security. We recognise that this requires a more integrated and spatial cross-government approach. To that end, the land use framework, which will be published later this year, will be our guide to how we make the most of what our diverse landscapes have to offer.
