Sir Keir Starmer

Labour — Holborn and St Pancras

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 March 2025

Debate

Shale Gas Wells

Contribution

The right hon. Member knows that there are real consequences of fracking, as I have set out. What we need to do to secure our independence and the next generation of jobs and to lower bills is move at speed to renewable energy. That is why I am pleased that record investment is coming into renewable energy so that a tyrant like Putin cannot put his boot on our throat. If the Conservative party do not want to support that investment, they should say so.
