Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I am grateful. The form of words used by the Department has always been ““the full cost”” of decommissioning and ““the full share”” of the costs of cleaning up the waste, but the concepts of ““full”” and ““share”” seem to be at odds with each other. Either it is a share, or it is the full amount. For the sake of clarity, would it be more precise to refer to the charge as for the full marginal costs?
