  All talk and no delivery as usual from the SNP Nationalists. UK Govt quietly getting on with delivering (eg sustained and large CO2 reductions; virtually ending coal electricity generation; huge increase in renewables since 2010) https://twitter.com/CPhilpOfficial/status/1782437142041387404/photo/1 [Source]

  Great speech to Croydon Conservatives by @ClaireCoutinho last night on energy. Use of our own North Sea oil and gas while we transition to net zero by 2050 will save us money and avoid importing more oil and gas than necessary from potentially unreliable places around the world https://twitter.com/CPhilpOfficial/status/1781614049773465691/photo/1 [Source]

• 6 Jun 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  Let me address one or two of the points that the hon. Member for East Lothian made at the start of his speech about the United Kingdom’s aspirations around renewable energy and the progress that we have made in that area. Members will be aware that, back in 2012—just 11 years ago—43% of this country’s electricity generation was from coal-fired power stations, the most polluting form of power generation. Last year, it was just 1.5%, which is a fantastic reduction. If other countries emulated our example, things would be a lot better.

  The UK has cut CO2 emissions by more than any other major western economy since 2010. Oddly, the eco-protesters and media rarely (if ever) mention this https://x.com/CPhilpOfficial/status/1653670400432168960/photo/1 [Source]

  Ban on Fracking for Shale Gas Bill - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: No

• 12 Oct 2022: Parliamentary Speech

  Well, if the nationalist Administration in Scotland were willing to support more natural gas and oil extraction or indeed nuclear power generation, that would help the energy situation. Renewable energy use in the United Kingdom has increased from, I think, 7% to 42% over the past 12 years, which is very welcome. The energy price guarantee has protected families and businesses across the United Kingdom from bills that could have been £6,000 or £7,000 higher, which is a huge amount. The hon. Gentleman has not mentioned the £37 billion intervention, which particularly helps people on lower incomes, giving them an extra £1,200 a year to support them with bills. The fact that we are in such an economically successful Union means that we can offer things like the energy price guarantee and the £37 billion energy intervention.

• 13 Jun 2022: Parliamentary Speech

  As well as championing the UK as a global digital hub, the Government also recognise the power of digital technology to transform our own economy, boost jobs and help to level up regions across the UK. Britain’s digital might has given us the flexibility to adapt to unprecedented challenges, such as the covid-19 pandemic, and will be vital in our fight against climate change. Indeed, the UK’s economic future, our security, our standard of living and our place in the world are all reliant on our continued success in digital technology. We can take steps now to futureproof our economy, to invest in developing world-class expertise, to build our evidence base, to boost innovation, to grow employment opportunities across the UK and to strengthen transnational ties.

• 2 Sep 2020: Parliamentary Speech

  Of course we agree that dealing with issues in source countries—economic issues and others—is a vital part of fixing this problem. Migration trends across the world, and into Europe across the Mediterranean and the Aegean, have grown dramatically over the last few years. The small boat crossings that we are seeing are a small part of that much bigger picture. This Government have done a huge amount on climate change. We have virtually eliminated coal-fired power stations, one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, and CO 2 emissions generally in this country have fallen dramatically over the last 10 or 15 years, as the hon. Lady well knows.

• 3 Mar 2020: Parliamentary Speech

  The Government have an extremely proud record on climate change. As I have just said, we have been reducing our CO 2 emissions and have virtually eliminated coal-fired power stations. There is scope to do more, though, and the Environment Bill will again be before the House shortly, and it contains further measures, including on clean air, which I am extremely interested in as a London MP.

  The country can be proud of its record on climate change and the Government will continue to do more. Moreover, the Government fully recognise, respect and embrace the right to peaceful protest. A free society is built on the foundations of free speech and free protest, and the Government will never do anything to impede the public’s right to express their views. Indeed, we have seen that outside, in Parliament Square, on quite a frequent basis over the past year—sometimes quite noisily.

• 11 Apr 2016: Parliamentary Speech

  I was pleased to hear the Secretary of State acknowledge a few minutes ago the part that high electricity prices—caused in part by the Climate Change Act 2008—have played in the unfortunate situation with steel and other energy-intensive industries. I am very concerned that the carbon price floor in the UK, at £18.08 per tonne, adds to the £5.30 per tonne in the EU, placing a burden on UK energy-intensive industries that is four and a half times that of our European neighbours. I know that he has done a lot to alleviate this burden with direct assistance, but does he agree that now might be a good time to look again at reducing the carbon price floor?
