Proceeding contribution from Denis Murphy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy White Paper.

Energy White Paper

Is my right hon. Friend aware that an application has recently been made to build a clean coal power station in my constituency? It will be a £2 billion project that will burn in excess of 6 million tonnes of coal per year. Sadly, all that coal will be imported even though the site of that power station sits on top of the great northern coalfield where in excess of 500 million tonnes of coal await exploitation. Does my right hon. Friend not think that we should be burning that coal?
