Debate between Ed Miliband and Adrian Bailey

Thursday 27th May 2010 Commons Chamber

[Edward Miliband]

My hon. Friend makes his point eloquently. The uncertainty and the scrapping of the IPC are dogma.

[Mr Adrian Bailey (West Bromwich West) (Lab/Co-op)]

Does my right hon. Friend agree that industry requires not only certainty of future energy supply but—given the long-term planning and investment needed for new nuclear and related technologies—certainty and conviction on the part of the Government promoting those technologies, rather than the dithering and delay symptomatic of the new Government?

[Edward Miliband]

I agree with my hon. Friend.
