EU Referendum: Energy and Environment

Debate between Barry Gardiner and Philip Boswell

Tuesday 12th July 2016 Commons Chamber

[Barry Gardiner]

Perhaps, then, the Secretary of State could tell us what assessment her Department has made of the price premiums on loans that will be demanded by investors in energy infrastructure to cover the cost of political uncertainty. Is it 1%? Is it 2%? Again, I will happily give way to the Secretary of State if she wishes to inform the House what assessment her Department has made of those matters. No? In that case, I will give way to the spokesman for the Scottish National party.

[Philip Boswell (Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill) (SNP)]

Will the hon. Gentleman take the Secretary of State to task on what she intends to do to achieve the climate change targets in respect of completely decarbonising the transport and heating sectors in order to achieve 2050 targets?
