Shadow Minister Dame Harriett Baldwin raises concerns about relying too heavily on solar and wind power, as well as the cancellation of domestic oil and gas licences, which has led to increased dependence on imported energy. She calls for an increase in nuclear generation and asks whether the Business and Trade Department is putting pressure on the Energy Secretary to make new nuclear a key component of the UK’s industrial strategy.
Harriett is campaigning for a number of local infrastructure projects including better access to fast broadband, improvements to Pershore railway station and station parking, the dualling of the remainder of the North Cotswold Line between Worcester and London, and health and education facilities.
In January 2020, Harriett led a debate on the North Cotswold Line.

Dame Harriett Baldwin calls on the Government to back the doubling of the North Cotswold line, and for the Oxford growth commission to look at the work done by Oxfordshire and Worcestershire county councils to find a way to double the frequency of the train services to Oxford.

West Worcestershire MP Dame Harriett Baldwin has renewed her commitment to securing improvements to the North Cotswold Line to improve train journey times and reliability and enabling a more frequent service along a single track stretch of line.

Dame Harriett Baldwin questions the new Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero on the need for parameters to be put in place to protect treasured landscapes such as the Malvern hills and Bredon hill from pylons, wind farms and solar farms.
