Martin McCluskey
I have had very constructive conversations with the hon. Member about this. The warm homes plan will be published soon, and we will have something to say in that.
Andrew Lewin (Welwyn Hatfield) (Lab)
Happy new year to you and your team, Mr Speaker. It was a happy start to the new year, because we learned that in 2025, more renewable energy was generated in this country than at any time on record. That was driven by growth in solar in particular. Will my right hon. Friend make it a new year’s resolution that the Government will continue to drive that growth forward, and will surpass that amount in 2026?
Ed Miliband
Absolutely. This is about delivering what we promised when we were elected: home-grown clean power, so that we can get bills down, create jobs, get energy security and, crucially, do the right thing for future generations.
