Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way. I had no intention of interrupting his peroration, but I want to say two things. First, this is a Third Reading debate, but the issues that he is raising have no relevance whatever to the Bill; we do not need to legislate through a Bill to cover the points that he mentions. Secondly, I remind him that British Energy is a publicly listed company, in which the Government are a minority stakeholder.
