Proceeding contribution from Tony McNulty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on Protection of Critical Infrastructure.


Protection of Critical Infrastructure

Yes, but only at the point at which there was a dispute about what sectors and specific sites should be included. That naturally follows from securing in the early stages the definition we want about the binding and non-binding elements of the directive. I do not think that I am mistaken in saying that going down the route that leads ultimately to the European Court would be a natural follow-through from the binding elements, if they are secured. We say clearly in the motion that we will not support those elements unless our outstanding concerns are addressed. That sounds terribly complicated, but I am sure that my hon. Friend fully understands, given his expertise in these matters.
