Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Fourth Carbon Budget.
Fourth Carbon Budget
I congratulate the Secretary of State on stepping up to the plate on this issue; it is really good that he has established that it is he, and not the Business Secretary, who is in the driving seat. I want to ask him about long-term clarity for investors. He mentioned that that was key, but he will appreciate that those wishing to invest in gas now risk seeing their investments stranded after 2025. It is extremely important, when addressing that question, that he review the proposals on electricity market reform to ensure that those investments can be maintained.
