Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on UK Manufacturing.


UK Manufacturing

While praising excellent industries, I hope that the Minister also recognises just what a world leader this country is in subsea engineering—that has come on the back of the oil and gas industry in the North sea. To that end, now that energy is the responsibility of a separate Department, does his Department still have an interest in promoting the business side of the oil and gas industry and all the service industries that go with it?
