Ed Miliband

Labour — Doncaster North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 February 2026

Debate

Local Power Plan

Contribution

The right hon. Gentleman and I have had exchanges on this matter before. It is a serious issue, and he is absolutely within his rights to raise it. I would just say two things to him: first, following the Great British Energy Act 2025, GB Energy has pledged to be a leader in this area and has appointed an adviser to work on these issues; secondly, he will know that the industry committed to the solar stewardship initiative as part of the solar road map, which is precisely about having independent monitoring of where solar panels come from. I take this issue seriously and I take his advocacy on it seriously, too. It is a work in progress, but it is really important that we get it right.
