Oral Answers to Questions

David Nuttall Excerpts

Thursday 6th June 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Mr Nuttall, are you still seeking to trouble the scorers?

[Mr David Nuttall (Bury North) (Con)]

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

I want to pursue further the EU’s imposition of tariffs. Perhaps the Minister could explain how on earth this will do anything to make it easier for people, if they wish, to install solar panels, and how on earth it will do anything to make it cheaper for those struggling to pay their energy bills.

[Gregory Barker]

My hon. Friend and I are absolutely on the same page on this matter. That is why I am fighting this EU proposal very hard. It is not just me; 18 other member states take a similar view to us. We are determined to continue to push the EU Commission to come to a sensible agreement with China and to make sure that the EU stands for free trade and open borders.
