Last Monday on 17 May, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Critical Minerals hosted a roundtable discussion on lithium at the Houses of Parliament. The Vice Chair of the APPG, the Rt. Hon Baroness Northover, chaired the roundtable, asking for insights from industry about what the UK Government can do to ensure security of lithium supply for the net-zero transition.
Speaking at the roundtable was John Walker, CEO of Tees Valley Lithium; Jeff Townsend, co-founder of the Critical Minerals Association United Kingdom (CMA UK); Richard Taylor, CEO of Green Lithium; Roderick Smith, Chairman of British Lithium; Chris Wyres, CEO of Evove; and Stewart Dickson, CEO of Weardale Lithium. Jeremy Wrathall, CEO of Cornish Lithium, also provided a written response to the questions put to panellists.
