Following the Budget being a major step forward, paving the way for investment in clean power, creating jobs, and delivering energy security; what statement will the Secretary make regarding his departmental responsibilities?

Given the current issues facing my constituents such as rising prices, reduced payments, increased standing charges, and colder temperatures; what concrete steps will the Secretary of State take to work with Ofgem and energy companies for a fairer set of circumstances?

Following the announcement of £1 billion investment in wind power, does the Minister agree that projects like those in the Severn estuary have transformative potential and should be prioritised by the government to promote domestic energy generation?

Given the Prime Minister's announcement of higher carbon emission targets despite contributing only 1% of global emissions, and with leaders of major emitters absent; does the Minister agree that this approach could lead to more sacrifice for British people without significant benefits?

Given the return of over £1 billion to former mineworkers; does the Minister have plans to deliver similar justice to 290 members of the British coal staff superannuation scheme in Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy?

Given the US President-elect's views on climate change as a hoax; does the Minister believe the UK must rebuild its leadership by getting back on track with its climate and nature targets?

I am proud that Exeter is already a global leader in climate research. Does the Minister agree that this Government's mission on clean power will deliver lower bills, energy security, and allow this country to enter COP29 as a world leader?

Forests in North America are being chopped down to supply wood to burn at Drax power station, at a cost of £2 million a day in subsidies, while pensioners will perish this winter. Does the Minister agree that it is time to end this net zero madness and admit that fossil fuels are “a gift of the God?”

In my constituency there are nearly 1,500 members of the mineworkers' pension scheme. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Minister on the superb decision made in the Budget to return the investment of the reserve to them. I understand that this will mean a 32% rise in their weekly pension. Can the Minister confirm that this is correct?

Thank you, Mr Speaker, for permitting me to raise this important constituency matter from the Back Benches. On 2 July this year, during the installation of a ground source heat pump in a constituent's back garden, a gas field was struck and gas was released. On 19 October there was an explosion, which resulted in the deaths of two of my constituents and the continuing evacuation of 50 households. Matters related to the period between 2 July and 19 October are subject to investigation. I am advised that this is the first such instance of gas being encountered, but given that ground source heat pumps are expected to play a significant role in decarbonising home heating, will the Minister undertake to review the regulations covering the installation of ground source heat pumps, and will she arrange a meeting for me with the relevant Minister to discuss these matters further?

The Joint European Torus fusion experiment in Oxfordshire has been delivering fantastic scientific results, standing at the forefront of UK science and the fusion experiment internationally. As JET begins to be decommissioned as we move forward to our next large experiment in Bassetlaw, can the Minister comment on how we will retain all the excellent science expertise that has been built up in JET over the past decade?

Many homes in my constituency are off grid, which means that their owners have to fill up the tank at the beginning of winter to keep warm. The pensioners who have lost the winter fuel payment are struggling with that up-front amount. Will the Minister review the level at which the winter fuel payment is removed, because the most vulnerable are struggling?

I have worked for many years with London School of Economics academic and UK resident Dr Gubad Ibadoghlu, who has been arbitrarily detained in Azerbaijan since July 2023 for uncovering corruption in the fossil fuel industry, despite a severe medical condition. During COP29, will Ministers meet their Azerbaijani counterparts to urge them to drop the charges and to release him?

Conservative Members will never stop holding the Government to account for their pre-election promise to cut energy bills by £300. Have civil service officials conducted any modelling whatsoever that can legitimise that figure?

My constituents understand that tackling the climate crisis and getting lower bills go hand in hand, and they are excited about Great British Energy. Will GBE invest in community energy projects in places such as Macclesfield?

I am concerned about National Grid's rationale for rebuilding East Claydon substation, which is based on speculative applications rather than consented real schemes. Will the Minister meet me to find a way to get National Grid more grounded in reality?

The devastating scenes of flooding in Spain remind us all of why urgent investment is needed to deal with the deadly consequences of climate change. Does the Minister agree that this investment should be paid for by the polluting companies that have caused the climate crisis?

My constituents in Bolney and Twineham parishes host the Rampion windfarm substation, leading to several battery energy storage solution applications. Can the Minister reassure them about the adequacy of the regulatory framework?

We had a very successful all-party group meeting last week on floating offshore wind in the Celtic sea. The Minister is supportive; will he consider mechanisms such as ringfencing contracts for difference and investment in ports to kickstart the investment in the Celtic sea?

The wind industry has agreed on a standard compensation package for rural communities. However, the solar industry is not addressing similar issues in its supply chain. Will the Government create a standardised compensation programme if the industry does not act?

Konnie Huq's kids' climate guide, funded by Arts Council and Lottery, includes contributions from Jamie Oliver. Will Ministers join forces to get this guide out to every school in the country?

I communicated my concerns about the Norwich to Tilbury line with National Grid yesterday, and they mentioned that the Government are dragging their feet. Can the Minister update on when guidance will be brought forward?

The industry calls for a target of 50,000 tonnes of lithium to support our transition away from fossil fuels. Will Ministers agree with this call?

Ahead of the general election the Labour party was warned that its plans for the North sea in Scotland would lead to up to 100,000 Scottish job losses. Last week this became a reality when the US oil firm Apache said it would end all its operations in the North sea by the end of 2029 citing this UK Government's Budget and tax regime. Can the Minister explain why this UK Government sees the jobs and livelihoods of oil and gas workers in the north-east of Scotland as expendable?

I declare an interest as a chair of the all-party parliamentary group for critical minerals. Domestic supplies of copper and, of course, Cornish tin are critical to the UK's energy security. What consideration has the Minister given to ensuring that copper and tin are recognised as critical minerals?
