Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2025

Debate

Gas Storage Levels

Contribution

My Lords, I am glad that I was not alone in thinking that we enjoyed a filibuster last night. What is tragic is that the Conservative Party is clearly retreating from net zero and clean power and has become obsessed with gas. This is not the way that we need to go. The noble Earl is quite right. Centrica chose to put out what I can only describe as an alarmist statement. NESO and National Gas are quite clear that we did not face a crisis and that we have adequate supplies. I hope that those who were involved in making those claims last week will reflect on the concern that they caused.
