I welcome the Secretary of State's leadership in restoring momentum on net zero. Will he outline how the Government's energy and climate strategies will be underpinned by clear delivery plans, milestones and transparent reporting to Parliament?

Last year, the Secretary of State signed a secret energy deal with China, which he has refused to publish. This is simply unheard of. We have heard repeatedly from intelligence services that China might seek to disrupt our energy system, so it is crucial that the public get to see what he has signed us up to. Will the Secretary of State commit to publishing the full text of his secret energy deal with China, and if not, will he tell the House what it is that he is trying to hide?

That is frankly another patronising non-answer from the Secretary of State. I am not sure whether he got the memo, but his party is fed up with the sexist boys club. What is crucial is that the public have lost faith in the Labour party. This is a serious moment. Does he accept that when he stands at the Dispatch Box and tells the public that by his calculation their bills are falling, not rising, they simply do not believe him? Does he also accept that when he does not set out what any of his plans—such as doubling the carbon tax or clean power 2030—will do to bills, he makes a mockery of his party's pretence that it cares about the cost of living? Does he not reflect on all this—the £300 nonsense pledge, the Great British Energy fig leaf—and realise that when it comes to loss of trust, he is not their salvation but their problem?

ExxonMobil has just closed the Mossmorran ethylene plant. ExxonMobil also paid out $17 billion in shareholder dividends. Scottish workers are being betrayed for corporate greed. Does the Secretary of State agree that we need Government ownership in vital industries, because private capital will always just look after shareholders' interests and not those of workers, communities and national prosperity?

Trump's national security report made it clear that he wanted to use America's gas to project geopolitical power. We must not replace Putin's gas with a reliance on Trump's gas. That is why signing the Hamburg declaration was a step in the right direction, strengthening energy co-operation with our European neighbours. We need to go further, and we should host the next North sea summit, demonstrating UK leadership. Has the Secretary of State managed to get the Treasury to see sense and agree to hosting the next summit?

My constituency is home to Bersham colliery, the final coalmine to close in the whole of north Wales. Coal tip safety is paramount to Welsh communities, but there is a concern about companies extracting coal from our 2,590 tips for commercial gain. With the Senedd elections less than three months away, if the Welsh Government were to request that coal tip extraction be included in the Government's coal licence ban legislation, would the Minister consider amending the Coal Industry Act 1994 to extend the Mining Remediation Authority's remit to cover those powers and associated responsibilities in the future—

Green GEN Cymru was granted an Ofgem licence within days of this Government coming to power. Is the Secretary of State confident in the process that took place, and can he confirm how far it had reached under the previous Government?

I am delighted by the publication of the local power plan. What steps will the Government take to increase accessibility and community capacity for delivering these plans? Will you join me on a visit to Bo'ness scouts?

How will climate and environmental impacts be weighted in decisions like these, especially when developers claim they are insignificant?

Does the Minister agree that close and easier energy interconnection between the EU and the UK is a key strategic component of our continent's energy security, reducing costs for businesses and customers?

What will the Secretary of State do to help people like my constituent who are struggling with high energy costs?

Does the Secretary of State agree that we need to reform how we protect nature for new nuclear projects, as recommended by the nuclear regulatory taskforce?

What will the Minister do to help landlords such as the National Trust resolve this problem?

Will the Minister work with Morwind and me to deliver the hub at pace? Will he come to Portland to meet key players?

What steps is your Department taking to ensure that all UK oil and gas projects respect international law?

When will Blackpool receive its share of this money? When will the plan get under way?

I must raise a very important issue with the Secretary of State: there is concern about thermal runaway in batteries, especially those on prime agricultural land. Heavy metals vaporise at 900° and thermal runaway burns at over 1,000°. What research and assessment has been done on the evaporation of these heavy metals, which would poison agricultural land?

I welcome the news this morning of Imerys's success in auction round 7. What steps is the Minister taking as part of the local power plan to ensure that local communities share the spoils of Cornwall's great renewable energy potential?

Many of my constituents are anxious about the consultation process and the environmental impact of the Peak Cluster project in rural Cheshire. Will the Secretary of State commit to meeting me and local representatives to ensure that community concerns are properly addressed before the development consent order is submitted?

What progress is being made on carbon capture, usage and storage and hydrogen projects in the Humber?

Rendesco is a brilliant renewable energy business in my constituency. Just before Christmas, it was awarded a £2 million grant from UK Research and Innovation, but since then the phone has not been working at UKRI's end. Can Ministers have a word to see whether this money can be unlocked, to ensure that Rendesco's product can be brought to market and that jobs are not lost?

Working with Councillor David Branson, I have been pushing to get more support for our local schools to cut their bills. I am really pleased that Great British Energy funded new solar panels for Sunnyside academy in Coulby Newham last year. Will Ministers meet me to see whether we can get more support so that more of our local schools to cut their bills?

Last week the Government pushed through the imposition of the emissions trading scheme on domestic shipping. That will have a huge impact on Northern Ireland, because so many goods are brought into Northern Ireland from GB, or sent there, on ferries. What assessment has the Minister made of the impact this will have on consumer prices and manufacturing costs in Northern Ireland? Does he recognise that Northern Ireland will face heavy costs because of this net zero policy?

This year Teddy Grays in Dudley celebrates 200 years in business, with five generations of the same family keeping that local sweetshop and mainstay in Dudley. However, as with many small businesses, energy bills are a constant threat to its success. What steps is my right hon. Friend taking to ensure that Teddy Grays can enjoy another 200 years of sweet success, and will he meet me to discuss this further?

Thank you, Mr Speaker. “Our Governments seem stricken, almost delusional, in the face of onrushing disaster,” and we are seeing arguably the most destructive industrial calamity in our nation's history. Those are the words of the GMB's Scotland Secretary about the Government's determination to tax and regulate the oil and gas sector out of business. Does the Minister agree with the words of his union friend?

As the Secretary of State knows, there is a fantastic site on the edge of the M1 at Ratcliffe-on-Soar—the last of the coal-fired power station sites to be decommissioned—which will make a superb site for clean energy generation. Will he commit to meeting me and Claire Ward, Mayor of the East Midlands, to discuss it further?

Returning to the imminent imposition of the emissions trading scheme on domestic shipping, why will consumers in Northern Ireland face the imposition of a carbon tax, whereas consumers in Scotland who equally depend on ferries for their supplies are obtaining an exemption? Where is the parity?
