Ed Miliband
Yes. My hon. Friend, who speaks so well on these issues, is absolutely right. There are huge opportunities for Cornwall in this area of offshore wind. One thing that I have been doing with my Department is transforming it from simply an energy policy Department to an energy and industrial policy Department, because this Government believe in industrial policy.
Blake Stephenson (Mid Bedfordshire) (Con)
Can the Secretary of State give a clear assurance that not a single offshore wind project procured in this round will be built with technology made by Chinese slaves?
Ed Miliband
We will certainly not be doing that. We want as much as possible of this to be built in Britain.
