Parliamentary Written Question (Correction)

Thursday 3rd February 2011 Written Statements

[The Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change (Charles Hendry)]

I would like to inform the House that a written answer I gave on 13 December 2010, Official Report, column 523W to the hon. Member for Ogmore (Huw Irranca-Davies) contained some inadvertent errors in relation to the number of representations received on Sheffield Forgemasters.

The correct information is as follows:

We have received letters from 12 private individuals, one Member of Parliament on behalf of an unnamed constituent, one not-for-profit organisation and one private company on this issue. However, this does not include all representations where Sheffield Forgemasters might have been just one of the issues raised in a letter. To search all the correspondence that might contain a representation on Sheffield Forgemasters would incur disproportionate cost

I apologise to the hon. Member and to the House for this error.
