Proceeding contribution from Charles Hendry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Energy Providers.
Energy Providers
We shall make our financial commitments clearer as we get closer to the election. We have no idea whether the shortfall in public spending this year will be the £40 billion that was predicted, or the £100 billion that is now expected. We cannot begin to make spending predictions at this stage. The other thing to recognise is that this year's increase is for one winter only and not a lasting commitment.
