Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 April 2025

Debate

Great British Energy Bill

Contribution

As the Minister and others have rightly said, this new entity can champion not only decarbonisation but sovereignty, supply chain integrity, and British manufacturing. GBE should not be divorced from the rest of UK industry. By investing in British steel, British solar and British renewables, we can build a secure future, free from dependence on authoritarian regimes and the iniquities of forced labour. I have said it again and again, as have so many others, particularly the noble Lord, Lord Blencathra: we need resilience not dependency.
