Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 March 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Renewables Obligation Order 2006.

Renewables Obligation Order 2006

Yes. The Government remain committed to the approach set out in the energy White Paper that renewables and energy efficiency remain the most cost-effective way to deliver the energy White Paper goals. However, we recognise that there are different technical interpretations of what constitutes renewable energy. The Government’s existing renewables policy—the 10 per cent target and the renewables obligation—does not include nuclear. I hope that deals with the point. On Question, Motion agreed to.
