Emergency In The East Midlands
EDM number 208 in 1990-91, proposed by Harry Barnes on 10/12/1990.
That this House is deeply concerned about the plight of masses of people who are still without electricity and water supplies three days after the arrival of recent severe weather conditions; is especially worried about the well-being of half a million such people in the East Midlands, many of whom under present arrangements will have to wait a further four days or so for their electricity supplies to be re-connected; applauds the selfless efforts of workpeople and organisations which have assisted those in such desperate circumstances, but utterly condemns the failure of the Department of Energy to recognise that an emergency exists in the East Midlands requiring the moving of resources and expertise into the area to help tackle the current crisis; and notes that the Secretary of State's main interest in the electricity industry is its privatisation, a move which is contrary to the needs of the current situation and the long-term interests of the nation.
This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
