Energy Bill

As the Select Committee Chairman, I try to be open-minded and even-handed, but the hon. Gentleman would try the patience of even the most amenable of men. The liabilities that he is talking about stem largely from military use, and the material was stored in an appalling way, with no thought for the future. We now have a much clearer idea of the what the costs actually are, and he should not confuse the House, and the public, by mixing up the legacy issues with the issues in connection with future waste.
