Jobs and Growth in a Low-carbon Economy

Karl Turner Excerpts

Monday 5th March 2012 Commons Chamber

[Simon Hughes (Bermondsey and Old Southwark) (LD)]

I am very happy to follow the hon. Member for Vale of Clwyd (Chris Ruane), and I pay tribute to the opportunities and success in north Wales. I visited the area when I shadowed the energy and climate change brief in the previous Parliament, and I must say that the whole of the north Wales coast and the area off the north Wales shore is a fantastic site. It gives us not only the success we have had already, but huge potential.

I am pleased to welcome my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change to his post, to join his colleagues in the Department’s team—

[Karl Turner (Kingston upon Hull East) (Lab)]
