Nuclear Industry

I recognise that, too. I should assure hon. Members that we have learnt lessons from other nations and we will continue to do so. France and Finland obviously, but not exclusively, come to mind. The hon. Member for Cambridge (David Howarth), the Liberal Democrat spokesman, did not have time to set out the party’s strategy on energy policy, but he asked one or two questions as he piled attack on attack, in an obsessive way, on the nuclear industry. When I think of the Liberal Democrat strategy, I think of the last era when the Liberals were in power and a Foreign Secretary reflected in wartime that the lights were going out all over Europe. The hon. Gentleman still has to prove that, if the political miracle, or nightmare, of a Liberal Democrat Government occurred, the lights would stay on. I do not quite see it.
