Proceeding contribution from Adrian Bailey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Annual Energy Statement.


Annual Energy Statement

I welcome the Secretary of State's acknowledgement, albeit somewhat grudgingly, of the role of the new nuclear industry in providing for our future energy needs. I seek reassurance from him that his party's previous objection to nuclear was not a factor in the withdrawal of the loan from Sheffield Forgemasters. If he can give that reassurance, will he at last give us a transparent and coherent explanation of why funding for extremely welcome projects at Nissan and Ford were allowable when funding for Sheffield Forgemasters was not?
