Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (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
I pay tribute to my right hon. Friend's role in government. Obviously, the decisions that we made in government paved the way for Mitsubishi and Siemens to think about relocating here. We do not want to drive energy-intensive industries or jobs overseas, because in many cases such industries are contributing directly to green development—for example, the steel that is pressed for offshore wind turbines that are manufactured in the UK. Companies in these industries want transparency so that there is a level playing field, showcasing the best and exchanging knowledge so that they can reduce their costs and their environmental impact. We pay tribute to the companies that have already done that work.
