Lord Hain (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2024

Debate

Solar Farms and Food Production

Contribution

My Lords, I commend my noble friend the Minister’s sensible response to this issue of balancing food with land use in general. However, does she agree that these rants which we got from the opposite Benches against solar power, wind farms—onshore wind farms—when they were in government and refusing to strike a deal with offshore wind through a sensible strike price, are in defiance of the reality of the climate emergency which we have just seen with the terrible flooding across the country in recent days?
