Context
Northern Ireland has been making progress with hydrogen-based buses and waste vehicles, but faces issues due to the lack of local hydrogen supply.
Is there not a real problem, because there is no supply of hydrogen in Northern Ireland and all of it has to be imported? Why does the Minister not get behind Northern Ireland business to ensure that it can produce its own hydrogen?
I very much hope that the hon. Gentleman's speech at the Titanic centre went down well. The Government are committed to our hydrogen strategy, and we very much hope that the Executive will return and play their part in delivering it.
