Proceeding contribution from John Robertson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 October 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Prices.
Energy Prices
My speech is full of stuff on fuel poverty, but I wish to pick up on one of the points that the Secretary of State made. He said that Sweden was using less energy than the United Kingdom, but that is wrong. According to the Swedish Government's own figures, Sweden uses twice as much energy as this country does, and the cost is more. In addition, according to the International Energy Agency, Sweden's energy use is substantially higher than that of the UK. I do not suppose he meant to mislead the House, but I think he must get his facts right.
