Rebecca Long Bailey MP, Labour’s Shadow Business and Energy Secretary, responding to the publication of several consultation documents rather than a long-awaited energy white paper, said:

“After waiting months for an energy white paper, and after almost ten years of Conservative rule, you would expect answers rather than questions.”
