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


Green Investment Bank

My right hon. Friend is absolutely right to sketch out the scale of what green industries are and can become. We estimate that some 800,000 people, perhaps more, are already employed directly in green economy-related activities, and I understand that that will expand substantially. I hope later this week, in a more wide-ranging comment, to add some more information for his purposes.
