Deputy Speaker, While going through the archives I noted that while the Energy Privatisation Act of 2017 had passed, that no Secretary of State had authorised the auction process to actually initiate the privatisation process. It is quite fortunate that we have been left in this position, as we can therefore reverse this privatisation with little to no cost to the taxpayer, and return us to a model which I believe will allow us to better direct efforts to promote renewable energy and pass on savings to the bill payer.

No amendments were submitted, so the bill goes directly to a final division.

Vote on the bill in its entirety by the 10th January at 10pm GMT
