Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 March 2025

Debate

Heathrow Airport Closure: Resilience and Security

Contribution

The noble Lord is right; this Government are having to invest huge amounts into the infrastructure, which was neglected by the party opposite for years. He is right about the National Infrastructure Commission. It produced a report in February that said that, with demand for electricity set to double by 2050, the current pace of additional investment in the country’s electrical distribution networks needs to double. We are giving that earnest consideration.
