Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 December 2024

Debate

Energy Costs for Businesses

Contribution

I thank the Minister for that Answer, but Britain’s energy cost for business is the highest in the G20, with Russia, China and the United States having the cheapest. Gary Smith, general secretary of the GMB union, says that Labour’s green strategy is “naive”, displays a “lack of intellectual rigour and thinking” and will lead to job losses. Does the Minister agree with Gary Smith? If not, why not?
