Climate Election: Where does my MP stand?
Broadland and Fakenham
MP and Party
Position on Net Zero / Climate Change
-
MP commitment
Accepts net zero by 2050 and the need for action on climate change. Supports further exploitation of national oil and gas reserves to meet transitional needs. *
"The independent Committee On Climate Change recognises that we will need unabated gas in the electricity market right up until 2035 and beyond, and more widely that even in 2050, 25% of our energy needs will come from hydrocarbons. Does my right hon. Friend agree that this is exactly the right way to maintain lower energy production costs, while still meeting our net zero targets?"

Hansard"That is as a result of Conservative policies in action, where we accept the science on climate change but take positive actions on the really important thing: it is the amount of oil and carbon we use that is important, not where it comes from. The Conservative record is incredibly strong, but we still recognise, as does the Climate Change Committee, that we need oil and gas as part of our long-term future."
