Lord Hamilton of Epsom Excerpts

Monday 9th December 2013 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Verma]

My Lords, on the noble Lord’s first question, no, I do not expect his party to win. In fact, I am trying to point out that he and his party ought to be very careful that we do not undermine this country’s great strength in attracting inward investment. Making complacent statements that have no substance puts investors off.

[Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Con)]

Does my noble friend think that I am being too optimistic in believing that my Centrica shares will start going up again as we approach the next election and the chances of the Conservatives winning it will increase?

[Baroness Verma]

My Lords, as long as we have a Conservative Government in place, I am sure that we will all benefit.
