Energy Bill [Lords]

Mr Robert Key (Salisbury, Conservative)
Does the hon. Gentleman recall that a couple of years ago the then Energy Minister proposed the construction of the west coast interconnector from the outer islands? The estimated cost was about £700 million. Research showed that it would be closer to £2 billion, which really knocked on the head any hopes of introducing wind farming on a grand scale that could supply the market in Glasgow and round to Liverpool.
