Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 June 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Preparing Britain's Economy for the Future.
Preparing Britain's Economy for the Future
The Minister talks of the importance of the infrastructure of Great Britain, and Members on both sides of the House agree that that is paramount, but why is it taking so long to create a common gas market in Europe? The security of energy supply that the infrastructure is supposed to bring is as important as the infrastructure itself. At present we are seeing the problems created by Russia's turning the taps on and off and sending ripples throughout Europe. We must address that problem. It does not matter how robust our infrastructure is if no gas is coming through.
