Ministerial Statement made by my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 22 April,
<em>Official Report, <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fquestions-statements.parliament.uk%2Fwritten-statements%2Fdetail%2F2024-04-22%2Fhcws421&data=05%7C02%7CParliamentary.PQ%40energysecurity.gov.uk%7C891dfbd031384237b28108dc73369021%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638511925379147845%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=naB6639IQFvyanh2ChtSIl1PX6PA6bCfaCTRtP%2BI9sU%3D&reserved=0"
