Oral Answers to Questions

Lord Spellar Excerpts

Thursday 6th November 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)]

There are enormous technological breakthroughs in solar energy, which is really worthy of further investment, but they will not get us through this winter. In view of the Minister’s complacent answers to the last set of questions, if we have blackouts this winter, will Ministers on the Treasury Bench resign?

[Amber Rudd]

I do not accept the premise of that question. There will be no blackouts this winter, and Ministers will continue to deliver the renewable energy and the energy security that we so need in this country.
