Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Rawlings (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) on Thursday, 7 May 2009.


Energy: Nabucco Pipeline

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their stance on the Nabucco pipeline.
Answer

My Lords, the Government strongly support the development of the southern corridor, which would bring gas from the Caspian, via Turkey, into Europe. This would increase UK and EU energy security by diversifying both sources and routes of gas supply. The Nabucco gas pipeline has the potential to form a key part of the southern corridor and, as such, it has the Government’s strong support.
