Sunday, 10 January 2010

Bitter north-east winds compounded the misery for icy Britain this weekend as forecasters predicted the Arctic weather could last another 10 days, making this the coldest winter the country has endured since the notorious winter of 1962/3.

The sub-zero conditions, which have forced nearly 100 businesses to stop using gas in an effort to conserve supplies, yesterday prompted Gordon Brown to release details of his meeting with the emergency committee, Cobra. With recriminations flying about who was to blame for the chaos that descended on the country last week, the Prime Minister insisted there was no serious threat to gas supplies. "We've got plenty of gas, of course, in our own backyard – the North Sea – and we also have access to the large reserves in Norway and the Netherlands via pipelines," he said.

But Greg Clark, the Tory spokesman on Energy, said that within hours of Mr Brown's statement, the National Grid had issued its third alert that demand for gas outstripped supply. "If we had enough capacity in the system, major users would not have needed to be cut off last week," he said, adding that Britain had storage capacity for 16 days' worth of gas, compared with 100 in Germany and 120 in France.
