Ed Miliband, the Secretary for Energy Security and Net Zero, has refrained from indicating his personal stance on Heathrow expansion, aligning with the Labour government's collective decision. Previously against the expansion due to environmental concerns, Miliband now emphasizes the importance of a proper decision-making process regarding airport expansion and fossil fuel projects like the Rosebank oil field. He argues that economic growth and net zero goals are not mutually exclusive, asserting that clean energy could yield significant economic opportunities in the coming decades, while also stressing a need for an objective evaluation of proposals to meet sustainability standards.
The collective responsibility is a principle that binds Cabinet members to abide by group decisions, yet decision processes require the evaluation of sustainability indices.
Miliband has argued his current role requires him to balance responsibilities differently than in opposition, where he viewed certain developments as harmful economic practices.
