Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 2).

Treaty of Lisbon (No. 2)

Can the hon. Gentleman address the question that the Secretary of State did not deal with satisfactorily? We already have the powers necessary for a liberalised energy market. Indeed, the Government extolled the virtues of the liberalisation introduced by that great woman, Baroness Thatcher, in the Single European Act. What will this treaty enable us to do in liberalising the energy market that we cannot do already?
