Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 March 2025

Debate

North Sea Energy

Contribution

My Lords, while this Statement is about energy, all these various forms of energy in the North Sea will have to co-exist with other uses such as shipping and fisheries, with the towns and cities which abut the North Sea, and with the environment, which in general is pretty fragile and, in cases such as Dogger, pretty much in crisis. Can the Minister say how the Government intend to co-ordinate to make sure that moving forward on energy in this regard will not compromise some of these other activities? Almost a decade ago, I chaired a Select Committee of this House that called for a strategic North Sea plan that would seek to balance these things. As far as I know, it has never been developed, so I wonder whether the Minister can say how this co-ordination will take place.
