Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on European Affairs.

European Affairs

I was pleased to hear my hon. Friend’s last comments. May I press him on the point about gas and the connection with Russia? Does he agree that the big EU bus was parked outside No. 10 Downing street? When we had the presidency of the EU, there was a great opportunity to sort out a European gas policy and market. The fact that we failed to do so means that every time something happens in Russia, the effect ripples right across. That is why our gas prices go up and down so tremendously. That is likely to happen again when the winter comes.
