Julia Hartley-Brewer has clashed with Shadow Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds over his support for Net Zero.
It comes as Boris Johnson promised £700 million of funding for the Sizewell C nuclear power project as part of a drive to improve the UK’s energy security.
The Prime Minister said the spike in gas prices driven by Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine showed why new nuclear generation capacity was needed in the UK.
The new reactor at the Sizewell site in Suffolk is expected to be built in partnership with energy firm EDF and could power the equivalent of about six million homes.
“We need to pull our national finger out and get on with Sizewell C,” Mr Johnson said in his final major policy speech as Prime Minister.
“That’s why we’re putting £700 million into the deal, just part of the £1.7 billion of Government funding available for developing a large-scale nuclear project to final investment stage in this Parliament.
“In the course of the next few weeks I am absolutely confident that it will get over the line.”
He said it would be “madness” not to go ahead with the project which would “fix the energy needs, not just of this generation but of the next”.

We are in a global energy crisis, because of the governments ill-thought out climate policies We need to move to more fossil fuel output, along with more nuclear and hydro, supplemented by wind and solar which are expensive, niche industries. Let's stop taxing everyday people to help people buy £80k Teslas.. Net Zero is madness and will achieve nothing except unnecessary poverty and hardship for everyone.. We need to get away from this nonsense soon, very soon…
ABOLISH NET ZERO…..
Personally, having viewed this interview; one did struggle to find exactly where this labour politician, was being schooled on Net Zero. Twas not the grilling from Julia, that I was hoping to see/hear, by her.

Why does she never have a go at the Tories? They are the ones in power.
That's the problem with these Labour Party Fools. They have a solution for everything but when it comes down to reality the net result is false promises that can only be fixed by TAX.TAX.AND MORE TAXES! I'll be Cold and dead in my grave before I ever vote for the Labour Party!
A recent national newspaper showed that 91 per cent of those polled wished to abandon the pursuit of Net Zero. This is a classic example of how politicians are pursuing policies against public opinion, all for our own good of course.
An alternative view is that the human race will have its time on our planet, as other creatures have had before becoming extinct for various reasons. So we should utilise the planet’s resources to the full while we are here, just as our predecessors did, and those resources are plentiful. Government’s duty is to people who are here now, not to those in some distant future when circumstances may be totally different.
Also, those who consider that setting a climate example will persuade others to follow should be aware that nobody else cares about climate change, which in any event is an invention designed to cripple Western economies.
Indeed, the entire climate mantra makes life difficult and expensive for motives that are highly suspect.
cant help but yawn
Net zero is a con and is designed to make money and more government control.
Personally i never let the lockdown affect me. Being out every day as it was a lovely summer. And i won't participate in another one.
Does our country have a say in anything regarding it's own sovereign land. Or does europe and the world now dictate our lives. Our politicians are weak cowardly traitors.
She never schools anybody because she has no credentials.
Net zero will never happen in the UK, governments here are to disorganised, the public isn’t going to be bullied into doing or buying things they don’t want, on the say so of a group of corrupt haft wits.
It's not really any of my business but why does he have a photograph of Henning Wehn over his left shoulder?
All hot air and whiskers
Net Zero………the IQ required to believe in man made climate change!
We have huge gas reserves, why do they lie about net zero, its fake . But they tax my energy bills and make more money the higher they are same with petrol prices 😢
Immigration, climate scam and net zero (BS), idealogues instead of business acuity – well you get what you vote for. Go woke go broke. I have been telling folks to leave the UK. The politicians do not care a whit. This is BS. Hey nice trick BBC on Russel Brand – you hypocrites – took Saville's pedo tricks and his ratings until 2012.
Excuses, excuses but these politicians still take a annual pay rise every year of £2250 and claim expenses for flying by jet and then Net Zero con, stop cutting down forests and woodland and there is no fcuking problem !
Plank
Doing nothing about global warming means a 3 deg C increase in world temperatures by 2100.
It also means one metre increase in sea levels and one third of the earth becoming uninhabitable due to heat.
Little point in talking about cost because at that point money itself will become worthless.
