Supply chains for the critical minerals we need to deliver longer term energy security are vitally important. On Tuesday I questioned the Secretary of State on his plans to ensure that we deliver secure supply chains for the critical minerals we need for energy security over the longer term.
We can only really deliver energy security with clean, homegrown energy supplies and the events of this year with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have shown us that failure to secure our energy supply chains and insulate ourselves from hostile actors controlling our energy supply is vitally important. I will continue to hold Ministers to account to deliver energy security and secure energy supply chains.
