Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025

Debate

Contracts for Difference (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 2025

Contribution

What we are talking about here is subsidies of £1.8 billion for burning 108 million trees. That is on top of the £6.5 billion Drax has already received for destroying 300 million trees.
