Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

The cost on introduction is small because there are very few zero-carbon homes. I am pleased to be able to tell the hon. Gentleman that a development of zero-carbon homes is going forward at Gallions Park in my constituency. We want to change the nature of house building in the UK and to provide incentives for a completely new zero-carbon approach. There is a lot of confidence in the construction industry that the measure and other mechanisms will enable us to bring about the changes that we want in the coming decade on a large scale.
