Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

The hon. Gentleman is quite right that we have enormous renewable energy resources. We certainly have more wind resources than Germany, a country that has developed much more renewable energy than us, but which has achieved that mostly through feed-in tariffs that give a guaranteed price for renewable energy. Would not such a measure make a more significant difference than anything in the Bill?
