Proceeding contribution from Thomas Docherty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Energy Efficiency.


Energy Efficiency

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for clarifying his position, but his Ministers will have to come up with some cash to reopen those mines. It is simply not feasible for, say, Scottish Coal to go back in and take on a huge financial risk without some Government underwriting. I would agree that there are some things that it is best for the Government to stay out of, but our major utilities are not one of those.
