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

Of course I accept that, but if one deduces from that or if it is implied—or if one allows others to infer from it—that that is the amount of gas we have available and therefore when we use that up there is no more, on its own it is a statement that one must qualify and add to. [Interruption.] No, the hon. Gentleman knows perfectly well what the background and context is. First, this country has far more of its own resources than the countries with which he compared it—I can show him the figures if he does not believe me.
