I was incredibly honoured to be offered the job of Shadow Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change by David Cameron – and only too happy to accept the position.
It’s a big job, bringing together two of the most important issues in Britain today – how we secure our energy needs for the future and how we make sure we tackle climate change.
Watch the exclusive interview that I gave to Conservatives.tv shortly after being appointed.

Best of luck facing off against Ed Milliband – he looks pretty impressive (although that’s perhaps only in comparison to his lacklustre colleagues) but you seem to be full of enthusiasm for the job ahead…
