Green Investment Bank

Proceeding contribution from Michelle Thomson (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 January 2017. It occurred during Debate on Green Investment Bank.

I can do that quickly, Mr Owen. I thank hon. Members for their contributions, including the hon. and learned Member for Edinburgh South West (Joanna Cherry) and the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion (Caroline Lucas), who always adds depth to our debates. I also thank the hon. Member for Southampton, Test (Dr Whitehead) . I make particular reference to the hon. Member for East Lothian (George Kerevan) and

his key points—I gently suggest they have not been addressed—on dealing with market failure and systemic issues with infrastructure investment. He made a very clear and compelling point.

I also note that the Minister conceded that he is being led by Lord Smith, who is a worthy gentleman and chair of the board. The Minister, however, is ultimately

responsible and accountable for ensuring value for the UK taxpayer and the wider framework of the all-important green agenda—

5.41 pm

Motion lapsed, and sitting adjourned without Question put (Standing Order No. 10(14)).
