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


Energy White Paper

In a welcome move, the Secretary of State set up the coal forum to inform future policy on the contribution that UK coal could make to a balanced energy policy, but he does not appear to have taken up its suggestion on a statement of need in relation to the role of UK-produced coal in the future. If that is the case, why has he not done so? As he knows, the coal industry is important in my constituency. What comfort can it take that its needs have been recognised in the White Paper?
