Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on UK Government's Energy Policy.


UK Government's Energy Policy

I will come to money shortly. Surely cost cannot be the issue. London to Swansea would cost £1.1 billion, with the marginal cost of Swansea being just £140 million. Surely, having committed nearly £1 billion, the Government will not persist in denying those towns beyond Cardiff, including Bridgend, Port Talbot and Neath, the electrification that they need.
