Trade: Import Substitution

Lord Foulkes of Cumnock Excerpts

Wednesday 19th March 2014 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

My Lords, I have already given my views on Europe. In terms of energy, as the House will be aware, we are continuing to develop some energy-friendly policies, particularly focusing on the automotive sector.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab)]

My Lords, will the Minister clarify for the sake of all of us—because we are really quite confused—whether he agrees with his noble friend, the noble Lord, Lord Taverne, or with the fanatics from the United Kingdom Independence Party?

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I have said as much as I need to on that issue.
