Let me close by saying that Britain faces a choice over the coming years. We can seize the opportunities of clean, homegrown energy to cut bills and create jobs, or we can double down on our exposure to fossil fuels. In calling for us to cancel this auction, our opponents made their choice: they are setting their face against cheaper, clean, homegrown power; against 7,000 jobs supported today and thousands more to come; against taking back control of our energy sovereignty; and against action on the climate crisis to protect our children and grandchildren. This Government have made our choice: we choose energy security, lower bills, good jobs, and the climate. I commend this Statement to the House”.
