  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>Those voting Aye passed the new motion (which had replaced the <a href="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2002-10-22&number=326&dmp=852">earlier division</a>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>This House welcomes the publication earlier this year of the <a href="http://www.number-10.gov.uk/su/energy/3.html">Performance and Innovation Unit's review</a> of the strategic issues surrounding energy policy for Great Britain up to 2050; welcomes the Government's commitment to publish an Energy White Paper in the New Year setting out a long-term framework for energy policy following its recent extensive and innovative public consultation on energy issues; understands that British Energy's problems, and those of certain other players, are about companies rather than a way of generating electricity and welcomes the speed with which the market can respond to protect the interests of consumers; recognizes that the future of nuclear power in the UK is a question that has to be addressed on its own merits, not in the light of a particular set of circumstances surrounding a particular private sector company; further recognizes that it is not the responsibility of Government to bail out electricity suppliers unless it threatens safety or security of electricity supplies; and welcomes the work Government has done to promote sustainable energy use in terms of energy use reductions and to promote the development of renewable energy.</blockquote>
