The decision by the government to close the UK's largest gas storage facility in 2017 was “completely wrong” and has cost the country nearly £1.7 billion, according to Labour. <br /> <br />Shadow International Trade Secretary Nick Thomas Symonds said it meant Britain was less able to cope with the energy shock sparked by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. <br /> <br />He said: “The government has completely failed on energy security and yet again it’s a way in which they’ve made this cost-of-living crisis even worse."
