Ed Miliband

Labour — Doncaster North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 October 2024

Debate

Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage

Contribution

I respect the right hon. Gentleman’s question, although I do not agree. First, this is a long-term investment in the country’s future, and I think the Chancellor is far-sighted in recognising its importance. Secondly, there are hard-to-abate industries that, without carbon capture, will find it very hard to enter a decarbonised world. We have to protect those industries, but I agree that, where industries can decarbonise without CCS, of course we want them to do so.
