Proceeding contribution from Joan Ruddock (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Energy Efficiency.
Energy Efficiency
I am sorry that the hon. Gentleman has had to provoke me. The fact is that the companies that were given the notices had entered into interruptible contracts, for which the price is lower because they are asked at times to lower their consumption of electricity. That is a reasonable thing to do. They chose to have the contracts. No one forced those contracts on them, and at no time were we in danger of the lights going out.
