Last year, over 1,000 former mineworkers in North Warwickshire and Bedworth benefited from this Government’s historic decision to release the surplus from the mineworkers’ pension scheme. Now, members of the British Coal staff superannuation scheme, such as my constituents Ray Sweet, Don Jennings and Andy Callow, are seeking that same justice. Could the Minister reassure my constituent and others like her that the Government are doing everything they can?

At this COP, acres of the Amazon were chopped down so that the Secretary of State can lecture us about saving the planet. Can the Minister justify why his Government did not even put a single penny into the forest fund, which could have at least repaired some of the damage?

As Members all know by now, the Isle of Wight is a great place to live, work and learn, but it is not just getting ourselves across the Solent that is a problem, but exporting our green energy under it. Of the three subsea cables connecting us to the grid, two are at capacity and the third is dedicated to a power station that only runs for a few hours a month. I am grateful to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks for its engagement so far, but will the Minister meet me, SSEN and the Isle of Wight council so that we can find a way to export our energy and unlock the Isle of Wight’s green future?

More than 3,600 families in my constituency are living in fuel poverty. While I welcome the warm home discount that will help with bills, it is really the warm homes plan that we need to see rolled out. Can the Minister give any assurance to my constituents about when they will be able to see that investment?

The north-east is a vital hub for clean energy supply chains, and my constituents in oil and gas want to be part of that transition, but years of under-investment by the Tories mean that many North sea ports cannot host modern turbine manufacturing. As the Government prepare their plan for the future of the north-east, will the Minister consider infrastructure investment to enable communities and workers in the north-east to better benefit from clean energy jobs?

In North East Hampshire, small energy-intensive businesses such as hair salons are struggling, because they cannot reduce their consumption. What plans does the Minister have to support those kinds of small businesses?

Our peatlands are a vital store of carbon, storing 26 times more carbon than UK forests. Would you agree that green energy projects built on peatland must prove they mitigate more carbon than they release through construction and disturbance? Will you commit to refusing any nationally significant infrastructure project failing this test?

I welcome the investment in Roydon Primary School for solar panels. Can you talk about how this will bring down bills and what educational impact it might have?

What steps are you taking to support off-grid homeowners like Gareth to transition to sustainable heating alternatives? What assessment has been made of using renewable liquid heating fuels?

What action will you take to ensure that west London can contribute to the growing UK economy despite current grid limitations?

Will you outline steps your Department is taking to ensure local authorities continue addressing climate change effectively and meeting national targets?

Today’s news that ExxonMobil is to close the Fife ethylene plant in Mossmoran is a devastating blow to my constituents. Workers with decades of service will lose their jobs but have no idea of the redundancy package they will receive. Despite months of attempts to engage, ExxonMobil has not been forthcoming about its intentions or what the Government can do to save the plant and jobs. Will the Government do all it can to support a future for the plant and workers?

With just a few days of COP30 left, it is disappointing that UK climate leadership is at risk due to the Government’s decision not to contribute to the tropical forest forever facility. Are reports that this decision is under review accurate? Will the UK play its part in contributing directly to ending deforestation?

Polling by National Energy Action reveals that many families are unable to maintain energy access due to prepayment meter issues and accruing debt. Does the Minister agree that Ofgem must explore practical reforms to ensure households are not penalised?

Last year, 2,000 acres of farmland were approved for solar projects. With another 2,000 being eyed up next door, when will the Government bring forth a land use strategy and impose minimum compensation for those losing their countryside?

Last month, it was announced that a £200 million investment in Grangemouth has secured private investment through the national wealth fund. Does the Minister agree we need an anchor industry with scale and skills like those of the former oil refinery? When will the Government take a partial stake and make an announcement on Grangemouth’s industrial future?

What is the Minister’s assessment of the potential impact on the Acorn carbon capture, utilisation and storage project in light of ExxonMobil’s closure at Mossmorran?

XLCC’s project to build the UK’s first high-voltage direct current subsea cable manufacturing factory at Hunterston represents a major opportunity for Ayrshire. It is exactly the kind of investment in renewable energy that we need to drive growth, create jobs and strengthen our energy security. What steps is the Minister taking to support firms such as XLCC to delivery these projects?

The oil refining industry employs tens of thousands of people and is crucial to our energy security. It is also a key part of the ministerial brief. The sector is under immense pressure, so can the Minister tell the House when he will meet industry representatives directly?

Will Northern Ireland receive a dedicated share of UK-wide peatland funding schemes such as those covered by the Nature for Climate Fund?

Given the very serious news coming out of the Mossmorran plant this morning, might you inform me how it might be possible for the Government to bring forward a statement on the situation today?
