Energy Security

I have been disappointed by the hon. Gentleman's recent interventions on this matter. I have followed his speeches over the years, and he has recognised the importance that his constituents and people in his region place on certainty and continuity of policy. However, just in the past few debates he has taken a partisan approach to these issues that is against his constituents' interests. In the interests of their employment, he ought to reflect on the signals that he gives.
