The Minister of State, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (Lord Whitehead) (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 March 2026

Debate

UK Energy Sources and Cost of Energy

Contribution

I thank the noble Earl for his Question. The UK benefits from a strong and diverse range of energy supplies. The physical supply of fuel to the UK is stable. The only way to protect ourselves from these and future potential price spikes in the longer term is to get off international fossil fuel markets controlled by the actions of petrostates and dictators. That is what our clean energy mission for homegrown power that we control is all about.
