  Andrew Robathan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Robert George Robathan (born 17 July 1951) is a British Conservative politician, and Member of Parliament for Blaby in Leicestershire.
A former officer in the Coldstream Guards and the SAS, Robathan was first elected as MP for Blaby in 1992 succeeding Nigel Lawson, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Robathan is in many ways a typical Conservative MP of the old school: public-school and Oxford educated, a former army officer, holding deeply Euro-Sceptic and conservative views.

 10/19/01 -- Energy Minister admits that renewable energy is suffering under NETA
During a Parliamentary debate, Andrew Robathan, Conservative MP for Blaby, Vice President of the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Association, and Vice Chairman of PARSEG — the parliamentary group on renewable and sustainable energy, called on the Government to follow up their statements in favour of renewable energy with two swift actions.
Robathan cited a small wind energy producer in Leicestershire, for whom the unpredictability of supply from his two 25 kW turbines means that his contract with Powergen was cancelled in April, and so it is no longer cost-effective to run them.
According to Robathan, this case is mirrored throughout the country, with large wind farms seeing a 27% reduction in the price of their electricity, and other renewable prices down by 26%.
