Proceeding contribution from Ian Lavery (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 3) Bill.


Finance (No. 3) Bill

Is my hon. Friend aware of the double whammy of the European trading scheme and the carbon floor price, which will have a devastating effect, not just on Scunthorpe and Teesside, but on Lynemouth in my constituency? Rio Tinto Alcan is the company there and it makes a current profit of £50 million a year, which will be totally wiped out as a consequence of this double whammy, putting 600 quality jobs at risk. Does my hon. Friend agree that special measures must be put in place to overcome these unjust taxes?
