Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Green Investment Bank.


Green Investment Bank

I would hope that throughout the UK there will be real enthusiasm for the announcement that by 2015 there will be £18 billion-worth of investment in green industries. Can the Secretary of State add to that enthusiasm by sharing his vision of what sector of the economy green industries may represent and the number of jobs that that will bring to Britain? In addition, our tidal and wind can be linked with projects such as the European renewable energy project and solar power from the south of Europe, thus transforming the whole of our energy economy.
