Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Security.


Energy Security

The consensual tone of the hon. Gentleman's opening remarks is in notable contrast to comments that he has made publicly in the press over the past seven days. He claimed that we had only eight days of gas storage left. National Grid immediately dismissed that as a "meaningless figure" which totally ignored the amount of national supply that we have available. Will the hon. Gentleman now apologise for what was an unnecessary, alarmist, inaccurate and misleading comment?
