Mr Richard Holden

Conservative — Basildon and Billericay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 July 2025

Debate

Clean Power: Jobs

Contribution

People across Basildon and Billericay, and indeed across the country, want to see more jobs in energy production and to see cheaper energy. What they do not understand is why the Government are backing some but not all forms of energy. Why are the Government insisting on shipping jobs in oil and gas abroad, rather than keeping them here while investing in green energy at the same time?
