Strangford Lough: Tidal Wave Energy

Gavin Robinson Excerpts

Tuesday 10th January 2023 Commons Chamber

[Jim Shannon]

For once, I can give way—to my hon. Friend the Member for Belfast East (Gavin Robinson) first.

[Gavin Robinson (Belfast East) (DUP)]

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important Adjournment debate. As he travels from his home to his office along the Portaferry Road, he will know of not only the picturesque beauty of Strangford lough, but the energy there that could and should be captured. But is my hon. Friend prepared for the tidal wave and potential tsunami of interventions that may come in this debate?

[Jim Shannon]

I like to think I am well prepared for most things. Whenever those interventions come, I will be happy to give way.
