Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 March 2025

Debate

North Sea Energy

Contribution

I thank the noble Viscount for his positive comments. I urge everyone to celebrate those successes and to talk more loudly about them, to generate enthusiasm and excitement—as I said, positives attract. Behind all of that, our commitment to re-skilling, working with young people and giving a vision for the future is critical. I thank the noble Viscount for giving me a get-out on the marine environment, but there is so much more that we need to do around mapping the coastal areas and understanding what we have and what is vulnerable, and who has responsibility, and then coming together and making sure that it is positive for everyone. There are challenges and there will have to be trade-offs—we know that—but, ultimately, this is a very positive agenda that will bring benefit to our communities across the United Kingdom.
