Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

It is no good saying that we all want more renewable energy if, whenever there is a proposal to ensure that renewables can be used, Opposition Members immediately raise objections. In the Planning Act 2008, we set out a new framework that ensured we can both protect areas of outstanding natural beauty and get a move on with renewables so that we have energy independence and help with tackling climate change.
