Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Wicks (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 11 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill.


Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill

Our policy is this area is still under review, but I hope to announce a conclusion in two pages’ time. [Laughter.] Clause 9 gives the Secretary of State a duty to promote community energy. I am happy to say that this Government already do much to promote community energy schemes. The clear skies initiative provides funds for renewable installations in the community, and the new low carbon buildings programme will continue to fund such schemes.
