I certainly do. That is one of the things that the hon. Member for Gordon and Buchan and others have asked for, and I look forward to hearing the Minister’s response.

The hon. Gentleman is right to outline the exports from the United Kingdom. In Northern Ireland, we export almost 80% of our product, so it is even more critical for us.

That this House thinks it is unacceptable that the average annual household energy bill is going up by over £200 on July 1st; believes that the Government has failed to protect people from another significant spike in the cost of the basics; notes that many are already struggling to make ends meet, with millions of households living in fuel poverty; further notes that with this increase energy bills will be 79% higher than before the energy crisis began in 2020; recognises that in this time energy companies have recorded record breaking profits, with just five North Sea oil and gas companies boosting their share value by £73 billion in the first month after the US and Israel’s initial strikes on Iran; regrets that almost a quarter of the average energy bill is now extracted as private profit; believes that energy companies should not be profiteering whilst ordinary people can't heat their homes; and demands the Government take steps before the next price cap is announced to reduce bills, including removing all policy costs from electricity bills and funding them via progressive general taxation, continuing to scale up renewables, fully decoupling the price of gas from electricity, and ending rampant profiteering.

My hon. Friend and colleague brings forward the exact motivations of many people who speak to me. I endorse what he says, as I am sure others will.

The hon. Gentleman underlines the issues. He is an assiduous and hard-working MP; his constituents should be proud of what he does. Those problems are happening not just in his area but elsewhere. The by-election result is an indication of that, for those who take note. Tens of thousands of...

I do not entirely agree with the hon. Member’s comments, but he is my friend and I take his intervention along those lines. We talk regularly about many things but we do not always agree, and we do not agree on this issue. The oil in the North sea belongs...

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure that vulnerable consumers are protected from misleading claims about green energy tariffs.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure that vulnerable consumers are protected from misleading claims about green energy tariffs.
The Government is committed to ensuring consumers, especially those in vulnerable circumstances, are treated fairly and protected from misleading green claims. Energy suppliers must comply with consumer protection law and Ofgem’s licence conditions, including rules on marketing and Standards of Conduct, which require clear, accurate and not misleading information.
Ofgem also protects vulnerable customers through specific safeguards and enforcement action where standards are not met. More broadly, the Competition and Market Authority’s Green Claims Code makes clear that environmental claims must be truthful, clear and substantiated. Through the Ofgem Review, we are strengthening the regulator so it can act as a stronger consumer champion.

The cost of living is the single biggest issue families are facing, and tackling affordability is this government’s number one priority. That is why the Chancellor has taken urgent action on the cost of living.
On 30 January, we also announced the continuation of the Warm Home Discount scheme until 2030/31, providing around 6 million eligible households with the £150 rebate on their energy bills each winter.
However, we recognise that there is much further to go if we are to end the era of high energy bills for good and permanently bring down the cost of living. That’s why we are sprinting for clean power by 2030, so we can end our reliance on international fossil fuel markets we do not control and deliver long-term energy security. We are also investing £15 billion through the Warm Homes Plan – the biggest home upgrade plan in British history – to help lift up to a million families out of fuel poverty by 2030.
First of all, I commend the hon. Lady: in her short time here, she has made a name for herself as someone who speaks on behalf of her constituents, so well done. Power NI supplies 60% of Northern Ireland homes—a 6.2% increase—and charges £1,093 for credit meters and £1,065 for...

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of rising food prices on household finances in the past 12 months.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of rising food prices on household finances in the past 12 months.
The Government recognises that rising food prices can put pressure on household budgets, particularly for those on lower incomes. The Government monitors food price pressures through the Office for National Statistics’ inflation statistics and wider evidence on household spending.
In the 12 months to April 2026, food and non‑alcoholic beverage prices rose by 3.0% (CPIH), down from 3.7% in the 12 months to March. ONS analysis shows lower‑income households spend a larger share of their income on essentials such as food, energy and housing, meaning they can be more exposed to increases in these costs.
Reducing inflation is central to easing household cost pressures, and the Government is taking action to bear down on prices and support households.

We are closely monitoring the impact of energy prices on businesses and community organisations caused by the instability in the Middle East, and much will depend on the length of the ongoing crisis. We are increasing the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant for properties heated by oil and LPG, taking the total grant to £9,000. This will help small businesses and organisations in England and Wales most impacted by rising energy prices, such as some theatres and performing arts venues, to electrify their heating and provide greater certainty over energy bills.
That this House is concerned about the impact of steel price increases resulting from upcoming steel import tariffs on further education colleges which purchase the metal for vocational courses such as welding, plumbing, fabrication, and engineering; notes that without support institutions such as Crawley College, whose welding department alone spent £9,774.47 on steel and other metals in 2024-25 academic year, may struggle to cover the steel costs to provide vocational education; and believes that the Government should seek to mitigate the impact of the upcoming steel import tariffs on educational settings through targeted funding generated from the wider implementation of these tariffs and consider centralising the procurement of steel for vocational training.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support small businesses facing rising energy prices.
The United Kingdom has a diverse and resilient energy system. The government is monitoring the impacts of the situation in the Middle East, including small businesses, and engaging with industry to understand the full picture.
Alongside existing measures to reduce electricity costs for energy-intensive industries, the government is supporting small businesses through cutting unnecessary regulatory burdens, tackling late payments, and modernising tax and customs systems to make them simpler and cheaper.
The Business Growth Service provides a first port of call for businesses with access to practical help to navigate current economic pressures, while building resilience and long‑term growth capability.
