Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 October 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Environmental Protection and Green Growth.
Environmental Protection and Green Growth
My hon. Friend should ignore the campaign against having an environmental agenda, because it is not against business. The Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills visited David Brown Gear Systems in Huddersfield—I am the Member of Parliament for Huddersfield, although many people from Colne Valley also work there. We are now specialising in offshore wind power, which is providing jobs and high technology. There is real money in the environment, but the Government are retreating from their green agenda.
