<p>The Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, the right hon. Member for Twickenham (Vince Cable), agrees that there is no case for a further intervention in the gas market above and beyond the range of measures already announced to enhance our gas security in September. This decision is informed by Ofgem's report on the outlook for gas security of supply from November 2012, analysis from Redpoint consultants, and work with National Grid and industry participants. The position of Dr John Roberts, the Council for Science and Technology's report into GB electricity capacity margin, and the case for gas storage in Wyre, were not factors in the decision making process.</p> |
