• 11 Feb 2026: Parliamentary Speech

  Q5. As the Prime Minister will have heard me say, the Isle of Wight is a fantastic place to live, work and learn, despite the Leader of the Opposition trying to give us to China. He will also be aware of some of the challenges we have in cross-Solent transport with reliability, frequency and price. The emissions trading scheme, which ironically applies only to hybrid vessels, might increase fares further. Exemptions have been granted for Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the lack of grid capacity means that we cannot fully decarbonise. I am deeply concerned about the impact on our island community. Will the Prime Minister urgently ask Department for Energy Security and Net Zero Ministers to review this issue?

  I know that the Department is working hard with the Department for Transport to decarbonise shipping, but the current system works against businesses. One of our ferry companies is having to pay £12 million up front for a shoreside connection and then wait for up to seven years. Will the Minister commit to reviewing this system to speed up electric shipping for places such as the Isle of Wight?

  T3. As Members all know by now, the Isle of Wight is a great place to live, work and learn, but it is not just getting ourselves across the Solent that is a problem, but exporting our green energy under it. Of the three subsea cables connecting us to the grid, two are at capacity and the third is dedicated to a power station that only runs for a few hours a month. I am grateful to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks for its engagement so far, but will the Minister meet me, SSEN and the Isle of Wight council so that we can find a way to export our energy and unlock the Isle of Wight’s green future?

  What's the betting @IoWBobSeely visits an island factory this week, probably one involved in green energy, to try and put right his comments on any questions 2 weeks ago and make it look like he cares. #ToryIncompetence #CostOfLivingCrisis #iwnews [Source]

  He was doing so well on the Afghanistan issue, then ruined by saying Climate change was "virtue signalling" and worse still, Dominic Raab is competent. #ToryShambles [Source]

  Just heard @IoWBobSeely on @theJeremyVine . He says the nice to haves such as tackling climate change aren't possible until we have "world order". Am I missing something? @xriow #climate #ToryShambles [Source]
