Energy Bill [Lords]

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

I am listening to the hon. Lady’s speech with great interest, and want to pick up on one part of it. On moving away from maximising economic recovery, does she agree that we are already less than 50% dependent on our own domestic sources of oil and gas? Does she agree with the Climate Change Committee’s assessment that our dependence on oil and gas will decline more slowly than our ability to replace it, so we will become more dependent on imports? What she has recommended will not stop our use of oil and gas—it will just make us more dependent on imports.
