UK Government's Energy Policy

The right hon. Gentleman has had the opportunity to put that matter directly to the Minister and his constituent company. I hope he will copy me in on that letter, because I have not had the advantage of seeing it. He knows that there is a comprehensive review of the feed-in tariffs, and that has followed the evidence that the Energy Minister discussed earlier on with the Committee that large-scale solar farms could soak up the money that was intended for smaller contributors. So I hope that the Minister will now respond to the right hon. Gentleman, and that the right hon. Gentleman will copy me in on that letter from his constituent company. The challenge faced right now in the UK is certainly to de-carbonise, and now is the right time to address that. We need to change our energy infrastructure. The current market has worked well, delivering adequate capacity margins, but continued investment in energy plants would maintain our medium-term energy security.
