Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on European Global Navigation Satellite System.


European Global Navigation Satellite System

May I correct the hon. Gentleman? First, everyone in the House wants to support businesses in viable and successful projects. However, as we have just heard from the Minister, the project is about to go down the pan, so the hon. Gentleman is disingenuous in saying that the Opposition do not support businesses—that is absolutely wrong. There is a free service, but he suggests that we should ignore it and use a commercial one instead and make people pay for it. There is no market for that service; no one will buy it when a free service is available.
