Commons ChamberTidal energy gives the UK an opportunity to provide a clean and predictable source of renewable energy. It is a sector in which we have world-leading business expertise in the Solent region. Will my hon. Friend consider giving tidal a higher priority in the UK energy strategy so that we can maintain our competitive edge?
My hon. Friend will know that we are looking at tidal energy and related issues closely in the context of our consideration of the Hendry review.
