EU Council and Woolwich

Thérèse Coffey Excerpts

Monday 3rd June 2013 Commons Chamber

[Hon. Members]

Hear, hear.

[Dr Thérèse Coffey (Suffolk Coastal) (Con)]

Thank you for your patience, Mr Speaker.

Let me ask the Prime Minister about energy, which was a big part of the EU Council. It is important that we take advantage and encourage the Commission to deregulate so that we can exploit our own resources not just in this country but in other countries, too, so that we are not reliant on states outside the European Union for our future energy needs.
