• 2 Apr 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  In pursuit of their unrealistic and costly net zero policies, this Government have committed billions of pounds to carbon capture; guaranteed long-term prices to renewable energy sources, which has added to consumer Bills; and set up GB Energy, a costly quango. One project that is likely to apply to GB Energy is the proposal for a massive wind farm off the coast of Northern Ireland and adjacent to the Giant’s Causeway, a world heritage site and major tourist attraction. Will the Minister commit to ensuring that GB Energy does not support a project that would have a detrimental effect on our tourism industry?

  GB Energy is a costly quango that will do little to tackle rising energy bills and continue to promote the expensive net zero agenda. They must not be allowed to approve an off-shore wind farm near the Giant’s Causeway. https://x.com/eastantrimmp/status/1907395830383808985/video/1 [Source]

• 1 Apr 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  Let us not obscure what the debate is all about. It is not about gaps and the need to safeguard people. It is all about the Bill’s agenda, which is to give Ministers additional powers. The public see a Government with a majority of over 200 who have been able to drive through legislation that has frustrated and angered them, whether it is taking money off pensioners for winter fuel or the legislation that was driven through last week to meet the net zero agenda, which failed to prevent us from buying solar products from China that are made by slave labour. I could go through all the other things that have made people angry, but a Government with a majority of over 200 now want to take on additional powers to allow a Minister to avoid having to come to this House to ensure product safety.

  Many projects that are designed to improve public services are being held up in the courts in Northern Ireland because of procurement, planning and the decision process. The latest ruse being used to hold up projects is the claim that they do not comply with the Government’s net zero policies and will lead to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions. One of the projects that is being held up is the important A5 road in the west of Northern Ireland. Does the Secretary of State agree that while we have statutory limits on CO 2 emissions, we will always be vulnerable to major infrastructure projects being held up in the courts?

  The government’s Net Zero targets are being used to stall important infrastructure projects - like the A5 - in the courts. https://x.com/eastantrimmp/status/1894728058386477413/video/1 [Source]

  The renewable industry is increasingly dependent on Chinese technology and rare earth metals. Why is this net zero obsessed Secretary of State proposing to hand our future energy supply to a dictatorship in China? https://x.com/eastantrimmp/status/1890056581615882541/video/1 [Source]

• 4 Feb 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  Is it not a fact that, regardless of how much money is put into a warm homes scheme, social tariffs or whatever, consumers can never be insulated against the massive cost of the mad net zero policy that will require thousands of new turbines, acres of solar farms and miles of new transmission lines, all at a cost to the consumer? How on earth does the Minister believe that we will deal with the issue of fuel poverty in this country with that cost?

  Labour talk about ending fuel poverty but they are intent on driving up your energy bills with their mad net zero policies. https://x.com/eastantrimmp/status/1886755198363652311/video/1 [Source]

• 21 Jan 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  Devastating changes to inheritance tax, increased environmental costs because of net zero policies, and diversion of farming support to foreign countries—with those kinds of policies, how does the Chancellor ever expect to generate economic growth in rural areas?

  Did the Labour Party think that by robbing pensioners of their Winter Fuel Allowance they’d reduce the demand for gas? Or are they so obsessed with Net Zero that they don’t care if we have enough gas to meet our energy needs? https://x.com/eastantrimmp/status/1878854006036205676/video/1 [Source]
