• 18 Mar 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  Now that the Conservative party opposes large-scale solar, net zero and onshore wind, I am tempted to ask the Minister what he makes of that party’s new energy policy, which is to take us back to the past, rub two sticks together and hope for the best. Instead, will he update the House on the progress of Great British Energy in delivering our clean energy mission?

  Kemi Badenoch has said she’ll scrap the Net Zero 2050 target but then says she’ll set a new one if experts agree I don’t know about you, but if I were making a decision to scrap such a big policy, I’d have consulted experts & business *before* I made it… ???? https://x.com/LukeMLabour/status/1901976744027975753/photo/1 https://twitter.com/lukemlabour/status/1901902201154371744 [Source]

  Skills England will replace the current fragmented system with one that properly assesses national and regional skills needs, which will be absolutely crucial if we are to meet the challenges of the future. That will ensure we are training people for the jobs that actually exist in the places where they are actually needed. This is not just about cutting red tape; it is about making sure that our approach to apprenticeships and technical education is fit for the modern economy. For years, the system has been tied up in rigid, outdated rules that make it harder to respond to the fast-changing needs of industries such as digital, green energy and advanced manufacturing. The changes in this Bill will allow for a more flexible, forward-thinking approach that actually meets the needs of employers and workers alike. A big part of that is replacing the old apprenticeship levy, which has been too restrictive, with a new growth and skills levy, which will give employers the freedom to invest in a wider range of training opportunities.
