Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 January 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Security of Supply.
Security of Supply
: Is there not a danger in relying too heavily on gas coming through the interconnector from the European mainland? When we have severe winters in the UK, there are also likely to be severe winters and increased demand in the northern European continent, which will also seek the gas coming through its territory. Is there not a danger of that gas being diverted, rather than coming through the interconnector?
