As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.

I was doing the Bill’s promoter the honour of answering his question, Madam Deputy Speaker, but if you do not want me to do so, that is his loss. I was saying that we are now presented with a wide spectrum of possibilities. I am now picking up the points made in this debate by my hon. Friend the Member for Bexhill and Battle, and I am about to pick up a point made by the Minister—I thought that that was what debates for. The Minister said that we have had a review of this important area of planning and development and referred to a kilowatt or two. He was trying to reassure the House, and that is very welcome, but I am not sure that his words here will be sufficient reassurance for people out there who might be worried about the potential intrusion of these microgeneration devices. It may not be enough simply for the Minister to say, ““Don’t worry folks. Although my amendment refers to 50kW, it won’t really be anything like that; it will be a kilowatt or two.””
