Energy Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Grant Shapps (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 May 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill [Lords].

I will just make a small bit of progress, and then I will give way again.

Secondly, we will amend the Bill to deliver on the support package for energy-intensive industries, protecting them from high electricity prices. This will bring prices for UK businesses in line with global competitors, preserving jobs and investment in the strategic foundation industries—steel and chemicals, for example. Bringing down prices will also remove a barrier to those traditional carbon-intensive industries decarbonising, in some cases by switching to electrification.
