Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy National Policy Statements.

Energy National Policy Statements

It is tempting on these occasions to load the IPC with a huge number of responsibilities. Part of what I have tried to set out is a balance of powers, so that it is the role of Government to set out need, get the skills strategy right and obtain the investment. The job of the IPC is to make a specific judgment about specific developments. That said, I am sympathetic to the point my hon. Friend makes about ensuring that we get the jobs in this country.
