11:04 Alan Campbell (Labour)

Throughout this conflict, our first priority has been to help households with the cost of living. That underlines our need to focus on clean, homegrown energy. As the role of gas diminishes, we will continue to explore how market and system arrangements can evolve to minimise its impact on consumer bills. We will learn the lessons from the current situation we find ourselves in. I encourage my hon. Friend to raise his specific concerns at Energy Security and Net Zero questions next week.

My hon. Friend rightly draws attention to the fact that the Government have delivered justice for members of the former British Coal pension scheme. I thank him for the role he played in the campaign to persuade the Government to do that. He may wish to raise his question directly with Ministers at Energy Security and Net Zero oral questions next week to see what more could be done. Should he seek a meeting with Ministers on that, I will help him to arrange one.

This is an important and concerning matter, and the hon. Gentleman has been a key campaigner in supporting not only his constituents but those in the wider region. I will draw the matter to the attention of the relevant Minister, but we have Energy Security and Net Zero questions next week. He may wish to hear from the Minister directly. If he wants to follow up with a meeting with Ministers and others, I will help him to arrange that.

I understand the bus manufacturing expert panel held its final meeting this week, following Monday’s release of the 10-year zero emission bus order pipeline. The next five years are pivotal for the ZEB market to deliver the buses that we need. Especially crucial is further support for our British manufacturing sector, as 2025 saw foreign manufacturers obtain a majority market share of new registered zero emission buses for the first time. Will the Leader of the House encourage Transport Ministers to make a statement to Parliament on these important developments?

11:47 Alan Campbell (Labour)

We are committed to building a strong pipeline of future zero emission bus orders. The publication of the 10-year pipeline is a key milestone in this work and will boost British manufacturing. As a starter, I encourage my hon. Friend to raise his concerns at upcoming Transport questions on 26 March, but I will also raise with Ministers the prospect of updating the House in a statement, should that be necessary.
