Topical Questions

Answer

It is called the North sea. Germany does not have its own indigenous supplies of gas and oil, but the North sea continues to provide more than half our gas supplies each year.

This is an answer to the Topical question asked on Thursday, 8 April 2010 by Desmond Swayne (Conservative).

Question
Germany has gas storage capacity equivalent to a quarter of its annual average consumption. By comparison, ours is tiny. Why does the Treasury Bench think that we have enough?
