Labour — Northampton South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 October 2026

Debate

Gas and Electricity Prices

Contribution

The Secretary of State is right that gas sets the price for power most of the time. Every wind farm and solar array built in our country weakens that link, but Reform and the Conservatives repeatedly object to developments in Northamptonshire. Does the Secretary of State agree that the route to cheaper bills is to build and invest, not to retreat from green power?
