Enterprise Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Enterprise Bill [Lords].

Does the Minister actually believe that there is no longer any market failure that needs to be addressed? The figures on infrastructure suggest quite the opposite. The point made by the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion about the innovative and novel projects that the Green Investment Bank was set up to support is that they pay much less return into the private sector, which is precisely why risk-sharing between the Government and the private sector was necessary to launch the bank in the first place.
