Hereโs the link to the short film with some useful insight. m.youtube.com/watch?v=DaCqPSโฆ

Always good to catch up with colleagues from the UK and US whilst up in Newcastle - Iโve never seen the Tyne so still on a crisp winter evening.

England built one wind turbine on land last year. This is a depressing statistic but great that @WBD_UK colleagues helped deliver this for @ambitionlw. With the de facto ban lifted letโs hope thereโs a significant acceleration of schemes.

This government was elected with a mandate to take immediate action to boost Britain's energy independence.
The onshore wind ban is a symbol of how bad decisions in the last fourteen years have put up energy bills for families.
Today, it ends.

Within 72 hours of a new government we have new planning policy which overturns the effective ban on onshore wind in England with a new Policy Statement. Other measures include the promise of looking to introduce onshore wind into the NSIP system

It is a real honour to have been appointed Minister of State at @luhc
Tackling the housing crisis and boosting economic growth is integral to national renewal.
Time to get to work.

Two of the smartest junior ministerial appointments - whatever anyoneโs political views - are
- @JamesTCobbler as prisons minister
- Sir Patrick Vallance as Science Minister
Both on top of their brief and will make an immediate difference.
