Electricity Market Reform

Debate between Chris Huhne and Baroness Primarolo

Thursday 16th December 2010 Commons Chamber

[Paul Flynn (Newport West) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Is it appropriate, given what the Speaker has said about short statements, that the Secretary of State’s answer to a single question has been longer than the original statement?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Strictly speaking, that is not a point of order, but while I am on my feet let me say what I was going to say when the Secretary of State sat down. I am sure that the House is very grateful for his long and full answer, but I sincerely hope that we will revert to short questions and short answers so that everyone can get in.

[Chris Huhne]

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Gas storage is dealt with in the current Bill. On that point I shall end.
