00:00Well, it's taken two years of dither and delay, but with our constant campaigning on this,
00:07finally the government has got to the right position.
00:09I mean, what has been clear over the last couple of years, as the world has become more dangerous,
00:15not only are our energy bills going up, but also we face real concerns about energy security and resilience.
00:23And so we have always said as conservatives, rather than importing this stuff,
00:28we should be, if we're able to, we should be using our own supplies in order to ensure that we
00:32have that security in our supply chain.
00:35We're pleased, obviously, that Labour have finally done the right thing on this,
00:39but my goodness me, if they'd made this decision a little earlier, then that gas could be being used this
00:45winter in people's homes.
