Lord Stockwood (Lab)
Some three months into a new role, I am as confident as I can be about anything. The current projections are that it should not have a negative impact.
Lord Johnson of Lainston (Con)
My Lords, I welcome the Minister to his role. I seem to remember that being Investment Minister is an important part of government. One of our triumphs was that we succeeded in creating the new gigafactory for Tata, in Somerset, which was clearly a landmark event. What are the Government doing to build on that success?
Lord Stockwood (Lab)
I thank my predecessor, who did an excellent job in the Office for Investment. He will understand that we are looking at many different projects that enhance the investment attractiveness of the UK and at our commitment to our climate goals, in which the gigafactories are large and proportionate players.
