Oral Answers to Questions
Debate between Ronnie Campbell and Amber Rudd
Mr Ronnie Campbell (Blyth Valley) (Lab)
When it comes to efficiency, would it not be more effective to allow this country’s three remaining deep-pit coal mines to exhaust their reserves, rather than bringing in Russian coal, which Putin could stop tomorrow, and also American coal?
Amber Rudd
I thank the hon. Gentleman for that question. Of course this country’s energy mix must include renewables as well as coal. I think that my right hon. Friend the Minister for Business and Enterprise has largely answered that question already.
