Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Fracking (20 Oct 2022)

Attorney General: Prosecution Rates for Blocking Public Rights of Way (20 Oct 2022)

Andrew Slaughter: ...party now opposed to all public protest and free speech? Reading its 2019 manifesto, I would have expected to see the Solicitor General and the Attorney General on the picket line opposing fracking, but last night they voted to allow fracking to go ahead, including, I presume, in their constituencies. If the Law Officers are prepared to break a clear promise in such a blatant and cynical...

Ban on Fracking for Shale Gas Bill (19 Oct 2022)

Andrew Percy: ...revolution, in which our region in the Humber is playing such a big part. I ask him to reflect on the speeches that have been made today. If this was a clear vote on whether or not we should have fracking, I would be in the Lobby with the Opposition. On any binding vote, I will stick to my manifesto and election commitment to oppose fracking absolutely. Will he reflect on that? He was...

Apprenticeships and Teacher Training (19 Oct 2022)

Toby Perkins: ...our hearts. The pressure on teacher numbers is also an issue we are all very conscious of. I welcome the fact that the hon. Gentleman was able to secure this debate. It is a shame that the “back frack or sack” debate in the Chamber has overwhelmed many of us. As a result, there were rather more Labour Members there, and maybe some Conservative Members were hiding away in here. I cannot...

Energy Prices Bill - Second Reading (19 Oct 2022)

Lord Lennie: ...for their futures. There is an unfair £5 billion loophole in the existing windfall on fossil fuels, introduced by the previous Chancellor or the one before. For every £1 invested in oil, gas and fracking, companies get back 91p. Nothing like that exists for renewables or nuclear fuel, and we need this to be levelled up. We would require the Government to report, assessing the impact of...

6. Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report: Renewable energy in Wales (19 Oct 2022)

Llyr Gruffydd: ...course, that any kind of assurance in the sector in the climate we find ourselves in with the current state of the UK Government is very challenging indeed. And there are reports that the vote on fracking is going to be some sort of vote of confidence in the Prime Minister. Well, that might be the case, but, for me, more importantly, a vote like that would be a vote of confidence, or lack...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Energy Security (19 Oct 2022)

Julie James: .... The answer to this energy crisis is not to expand new extraction of fossil fuels. We do not support the UK Government's plans to expand new oil and gas licences in the North sea and open new fracking in England. Our policies will continue to oppose new extraction in Wales. Years—years—of regressive energy policy at UK level have left us really exposed to global price surges,...

Economic Responsibility and a Plan for Growth (19 Oct 2022)

William Wragg: ...eye and say that they should support our great party. The polls would seem to bear that out. The next debate is apparently a confidence issue. Well, I am not going to fall into that trap. I oppose fracking and thought that we had come to a considered position on it, but there we go. I will vote with the Government Whip.

Points of Order (19 Oct 2022)

Tim Farron: ...Sir, that today the Government Deputy Chief Whip, the hon. Member for Calder Valley (Craig Whittaker), has written to Conservative Members telling them with regard to the debate this afternoon on fracking that: “This is not a motion on fracking. This is a confidence motion in the Government.” Will you give guidance to all sides of the House, and to the Prime Minister in particular,...

Prime Minister: Engagements (19 Oct 2022)

Meg Hillier: We understand that this afternoon’s vote on fracking is deemed a confidence vote in the Prime Minister. Can she give us any reason why her own Back Benchers or anyone in this country can have confidence in her after her policies have caused chaos in the markets and wrecked the economy?

Public Order Bill: New Clause 7 - Power of Secretary of State to bring proceedings (18 Oct 2022)

Caroline Lucas: .... I want to widen that context and talk about the attack, frankly, that Ministers are unleashing on policies to protect nature, from issuing new oil and gas licences and lifting the moratorium on fracking to scrapping 570 laws that make up the bedrock of environmental regulation in the UK, covering water quality, wildlife havens, clean air and much else. Ministers may hide behind endless...

Public Bill Committee: Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill: Clause 195 - Commencement and transitional provision (18 Oct 2022)

Matthew Pennycook: ...production, which I know is of deep concern to the new housing Minister and other Government Members. With the Government having abandoned their manifesto commitment by signalling the end of the fracking moratorium and with UK onshore oil and gas already gearing up to convince Ministers to designate fracking projects as nationally significant, the obvious concern about Government new...

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Fracking (18 Oct 2022)

Energy Prices Bill: Domestic energy price reduction schemes for Great Britain (17 Oct 2022)

Barry Gardiner: ...provisions of this Bill. Our failure should teach us another lesson. The way to become more energy secure and less reliant on fossil fuels is not to double down on them and devise new subsidies for fracking and new fields in the North sea, but to ramp up investments that will transition our economy from the fossil-fuelled past to the clean energy future. The Government claim that we have...

Energy Prices Bill (17 Oct 2022)

Ed Miliband: ...previous Chancellor but one—I think that is right—introduced a super-deduction for fossil fuel companies as part of his windfall tax. That means that for every pound invested in oil and gas and fracking, companies get 91p back. But to be clear: that is not available to renewables, nuclear or other zero-carbon technology. That is an absurd tilting of the playing field towards fossil...

Early General Election — [David Mundell in the Chair] (17 Oct 2022)

Fleur Anderson: ...on banning no-fault evictions. No one voted for the economy to be plunged into chaos. No one voted to ditch the green homes grant after just a few weeks. No one voting for lifting the moratorium on fracking. No one voted to scrap crucial environmental protection laws, to attack nature or even to turn on the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, the National Trust, the Wildlife Trusts...
