Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitehead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on UK Low Carbon Transition Plan.

UK Low Carbon Transition Plan

I warmly welcome my right hon. Friend's statement. He is absolutely right to concentrate on the recalibration of the grid and on the makeover of homes in the domestic energy sector, and absolutely right to look fundamentally at the reconstitution of Ofgem's responsibility for renewable energy. In parallel with those moves, will he talk to his colleagues in other Departments to ensure that we have the necessary skills, training and work force equipment so that the new low-carbon economy that his moves presage can be developed effectively, using the skills of UK workers and technicians?
