Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

The Secretary of State's rather dismissive reply to the hon. Member for Dundee, East (Stewart Hosie) ignored the fact that the BP project at Peterhead might well have been on line by 2010, thus possibly beating the competing project's time scale. Is there not a serious point to be made, namely that the Government's single-minded and rather ham-fisted approach to carbon capture and storage has damaged the prospects of UK industry?
