Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

We are considering a variety of ways, in particular through the renewables obligation. It is a powerful market-based mechanism that is a lever for bringing about the changes that we need. It introduces advantages for householders, but even more advantages for generators. Offshore wind generation has started and other new technologies are being introduced. That is how we can achieve a sustainable and long-term way forward, avoiding the huge costs of some of the feed-in tariff systems on the continent.
