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


Annual Energy Statement

I was somewhat disappointed that although the Secretary of State made fleeting reference to marine energy, he had nothing to say about tidal power in particular and the potential to exploit it in the Severn estuary. Can he confirm his commitment to the Severn barrage feasibility study, and can anything be done to accelerate it so that we can have an answer sooner rather than later on whether it can go ahead?
