Proceeding contribution from Eric Forth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 17 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill 2005-06.


As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.

I am grateful to my hon. Friend, and later in my remarks I shall quote further from the Prime Minister on exactly that point. The Prime Minister spoke words of very great wisdom. He has a clear view of the realities of climate change, emissions and the like and I am sure that we shall want to explore that, too. One of the things on which we may want to spend some time, and which has been somewhat neglected up to now—largely because nobody saw fit to table probing amendments or examine it—is the reference in the long title to"““the adjustment of transmission charges for electricity””." That could be an important aspect of the Bill, should it become an Act, and of its impact on our everyday lives. We have not really explored that point and I do not think that it was really covered on Second Reading. I hope that Third Reading will offer us an opportunity to look at that part of the Bill in much more depth.
