Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 May 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Housing.
Housing
Does the Minister not see that if HIPs are so wonderful—if they lead to people making savings on their energy account and speed up transactions—they will take off naturally, given all this publicity? Why do we not withdraw the mandatory element, and see whether she is right to say that they are helpful? I think that they are unhelpful—the market will dry up, and they are another tax to go with the swingeing stamp duty and the penal council tax.
