To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they have taken to meet the manifesto pledge to create 650,000 green jobs; what plans they have to create those jobs; and what progress has so far been made towards it.

The clean energy transition represents one of the UK’s largest opportunities for economic growth and high-quality job creation this decade. In October 2025, we published the Clean Energy Jobs Plan, which highlights that the UK’s clean energy workforce could double by 2030, supporting up to 860,000 high quality jobs across every nation and region.
Progress has already been made on commitments in the Plan. In April, we announced five Clean Energy Technical Excellence Colleges delivering training for clean energy jobs in Liverpool, the Tees Valley, Somerset, London and Colchester. The Plan also includes the expansion of the Energy Skills Passport, up to £20 million of funding to support the North Sea transition, and a new North Sea Jobs Service offering end-to-end career support for oil and gas workers.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the number of permanent jobs created by large-scale data centre developments once operational.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the number of permanent jobs created by large-scale data centre developments once operational.
Data centres can be significant sources of employment, both during construction and to operate and maintain the data centres once completed. These include highly specialised jobs across IT, engineering, cybersecurity, and support services. Data centres also indirectly support employment in other industries, particularly in tech and AI.
My Department has not made a specific estimate of the number of jobs that will be created due to the substantial potential investment in the UK by data centre developers but is actively monitoring the sector.
TechUK have estimated that by 2035 there could be 40,200 additional jobs directly employed in data centre operational roles and 18,200 additional jobs directly employed in data centre construction roles over the period 2025–35.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will provide a breakdown by skillset of the 60,000 projected jobs created by the Defence Investment Plan.
The Defence Investment Plan is expected to support around 60,000 additional jobs by 2029-30 across the UK, creating opportunities across a broad range of occupations in defence, manufacturing and the wider economy.
Defence is working closely with industry, ADS and Skills England to identify the workforce and skills required to deliver the Plan.
The 2026 Skills England Annual Skills Report and forthcoming Defence Sector Jobs Plan will help identify and address the sector's priority skills requirements.

GBE N's study of Scotland's potential for new nuclear indicates that it has land areas with high potential for future development.
New nuclear projects can deliver billions of pounds of investment and thousands of high-quality jobs to a region. While the Scottish Government currently opposes new nuclear power stations, UK Ministers remain open to discussions regarding opportunities for new nuclear in Scotland.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the average cost per job created through the Youth Jobs Grant.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the average cost per job created through the Youth Jobs Grant.
The Youth Jobs Grant launched on the 30 June 2026, giving employers across Great Britain access to £3,000 for each eligible young person they hire into a job registered with the scheme. The grant is available to employers of any size, provided it operates within Great Britain, and is designed to support young people into work and deliver jobs across all regions.
The scheme aims to support up to 60,000 job opportunities for young people over the three years of the scheme’s duration (2026-2029). Assuming participation aims are met, there is an estimated average cost of £3,100 per incentivised job. A large majority of this cost is the grant payment made to employers, but other costs are included, such as staff, overheads, digital, legal and communications costs.
A comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan is in place which will monitor the delivery of the scheme, including the geographic and regional spread of vacancies. This will enable future targeted engagement with employers to boost vacancies in underrepresented regions if required.

EDF reports that the Hinkley Point C project supports 26,000 direct and indirect jobs across Britain and contributes £13.3 billion to the national economy.
According to estimates by Oxford Economics, Sizewell C - an above ground replica of Hinkley Point C - will support 17,000 direct and indirect jobs nationwide at peak construction, and contribute £26.6 billion to the economy across all regions of the UK over the construction period, with plans for 70% of construction spend to be placed with UK companies.
The government has tasked Great British Energy - Nuclear with identifying suitable sites that could host a potential large-scale new nuclear project. GBE-N will report to Ministers by Autumn 2026 on potential sites to inform future decisions in the next Spending Review and beyond.
I love Bellshill, and it was a pleasure to visit the other day to see this fantastic facility opening just across my constituency boundary. More than 300 wind turbines are being maintained and operated from the facility. That is a good example showing that the clean energy mission is about not just the renewables being deployed, but the jobs that go with it in communities like my hon. Friend’s.

It was a pleasure to welcome the Minister for Energy to Bellshill for the opening of the new RES maintenance facility last week. RES’ partnership with Scottish Power will support 15 windfarm sites, ensuring clean power for more than 400,000 homes. Does my hon. Friend agree that partnerships like that are important for our energy security, and help to ensure that communities such as Bellshill benefit from skilled industrial jobs?
I was elected on the back of three clear pledges, one of which was to work to create jobs and prosperity in some of our strongest growing industries. One of those is renewables, which is growing at 20% or so a year—much faster than the wider economy. In Cornwall, we are doing a great job at renewables. What steps is the Minister taking to help us to create those great jobs in Cornwall?

The framework provided by having a clear sense of mission, through the Clean Power 2030 action plan and the Climate Change Act 2008, is crucial. That is why we have the £100 billion of private investment. We are going to carry on doing it.

Private companies looking to deploy new nuclear at Oldbury will need to address skills shortages, particularly around roles such as welding. When assessing proposals for the site, how will Ministers ensure developers invest in skills so that local people can benefit from the jobs created?

That is exactly the reason we published our clean energy jobs plan, which identifies the demand for clean energy jobs in different parts of the country. We have also invested, through our clean energy technical excellence colleges in different parts of the country, to ensure that those skills will be available.

I recently met people from Mission Employable, an incredible charity based in Chorleywood, which offers supported internships for young people with special educational needs and disabilities. It was deeply concerning to hear that in England only 6% of adults with learning disabilities are in paid work. Will the Secretary of State outline how he is working with other Departments to ensure that the youth jobs grant does not disincentive employers in hiring people from supported internship backgrounds who are not claiming universal credit?

The hon. Gentleman raises an incredibly important issue. It sounds as if the charity that he references is doing incredibly important work locally. We want to support that work. It is a shame that in the years running up to coming into office, apprenticeship starts had fallen by 40%. We are reinvesting in apprenticeship starts and ensuring that they are available to everyone, from every background and with every ability.

While still at school, I played my part in the creative industries by playing in bands with names as louche as Street Lethal and Cheap Sweeties. It was very lucrative.

I am glad to hear about the hon. Gentleman’s childhood experiences. In retirement, perhaps we will see him in the musical “Mama Mia!”. My first job was on a battery chicken farm collecting eggs, so I hope that I can take a different path when I move away from the current profession. I assure him that not only are we are investing £2.5 billion but we are working across Departments to ensure that 400,000 students in disadvantaged schools will take up AI and tech skills through the tech first programme. These are the kinds of initiatives that we are wrapping around young people so that they get support for the age in which we are living. Extending the hours for 13-year-olds is not a serious solution to the challenges we face, but that is the only answer that we have heard from Members on the Conservative Benches in recent times.
