Security of Supply (12 Jan 2006)

Michael Clapham: ...be dependent on gas coming down the pipeline from Russia. Russia has become an energy superpower that will provide energy for the whole of Europe. There are real dangers in that. The phenomenon of terrorism and the problems that may arise because of international disputes put us in a very vulnerable position. I therefore hope that during the review, the Minister will look seriously at the...

Energy Review and Coal (11 Jan 2006)

Michael Clapham: ...area where we are 80 per cent. dependent on gas. In future, gas will come from areas of the world that are less stable than Norway and at the same time we have to consider the current phenomenon of terrorism.
