Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Robinson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No. 3) Bill.


Finance (No. 3) Bill

The right hon. Gentleman makes a fair point about the lack of consultation and involvement with the industry in this heavy change that has been introduced on the hoof. The Economic Secretary, who is replying to the debate, having worked for three years as a senior executive in Centrica—a firm the right hon. Gentleman cited as having lost confidence—should have known better and realised the importance of consulting the industry beforehand.
