Proceeding contribution from David Hamilton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Security.


Energy Security

May I make the point to which I think my hon. Friend is alluding? We need to stabilise the market in the United Kingdom and try to drive it forward while we wait for renewables to come along. We must talk not only about long-term investment in the nuclear industry, but about engineering and mining companies achieving the necessary long-term stability to invest long term in the coal industry while we wait for renewables.
