Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 January 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Security of Supply.


Security of Supply

We should see the position in proportion. The problems are really affecting intensive energy users. The situation is caused by the market, and the market will find a way of resolving the issues. However, for the purposes of this winter and, I would suggest, next winter, we must concentrate on how to facilitate our transition from being a net exporter of energy to being a net importer. It is against the backdrop of those five challenges and problems that we will conduct our review of energy policy.
