Vicky Ford: There are easy wins available in environmental policy

Voters, economic reality and climate change all press for further action. Here’s what we could and should do to make our land even greener and more pleasant.

John Penrose: There’s a free market-friendly solution to energy price caps

Let’s not set the prices, but instead the gap between the ultra-competitive deals for switchers and the tariffs for loyal customers.

James Frayne: Capping energy prices is less of a vote-winner than you might assume

What’s more, to have any effect it would need to be part of a broader suite of interventionist policies – territory where Conservatives’ can never out-socialist Labour.

Richard Graham: It’s time the Government backed the Swansea Tidal Lagoon

This development not only offers a welcome boost for Wales, but will help to foster the UK’s position as a world leader in green energy.

Lee Rotherham: “The EU is a rules-based organisation.” Oh, really? Consider these ten examples to the contrary. And there’s more.

Let’s remind ourselves of a few occasions where the letter of the law has been lacking the odd dot or crossed T.

Patrick Minford: More compliance. Lower productivity. Reduced growth. Why we must free ourselves from EU regulation.

If we do, we could reverse at least some of the six per cent hit to GDP it has caused so far. If we don’t, we could continue to lose productivity growth of 0.2 per cent a year.

Chris Grayling: We must never forget how badly nationalisation failed key public services

The Government must always stand up to businesses’ excesses, without losing sight of the huge benefits that partnerships have brought.

Henry Hill: Davies attacks the Welsh political class for anti-Brexit groupthink

Also: Cairns criticised over future of Swansea tidal lagoon; SNP squeeze private schools as teacher crisis deepends; and Foster ‘was not fully warned’ about RHI risks.

Tim Yeo: Five steps to give consumers cheaper and greener energy

Ministers need to be less political and more pragmatic about which technologies can sustain our economy in the decades ahead.

Owen Polley: The Government’s plan does not consign Northern Ireland to the Customs Union

Of course Ulster’s trade with the mainland must be protected as top priority, but a degree of flexibility on regulations in a small number of sectors is sensible.

Edward Molyneux: Why Conservatives should support ending the energy postcode lottery

The energy networks receive a lot less scrutiny than the ‘Big Six’, but they’re natural monopolies extracting unjustifiable profits and must be reformed.

Michael Howard: Low-carbon wind is set to power Brexit Britain. The work that Thatcher, Major and I undertook is paying off.

What I saw when I attended the United Nations climate change summit recenty, 25 years on from when I went with Sir John to the Earth Summit

George Freeman: We need a new Chairman and team at CCHQ to lead a radical programme of Conservative renewal

Let’s have Policy Board outside of the constraints of the Government machine – and a commission on what Britain should look like post-Brexit.

Tony Lodge: Our growing reliance on electricity imports risks price rises – and threatens our security

The tactic is the product of a generation of failed energy policies. But imported supply is set to become more expensive, not less.

Sally-Ann Hart: Local authorities have a role in defeating fuel poverty

There is a huge cost to the NHS and social care services when landlords fail to provide energy efficient homes.
