Proceeding contribution from Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

My Lords, I have been following the noble Lord’s novel argument with some interest. My only concern is that the proposal that he is referring to will have to be the subject of a fairly rigorous competitive process, organised by the NDA at least, following on from what the NDA is presently doing. Is the noble Lord not putting too much emphasis on one company’s option which is to be the subject of very rigorous competitive analysis and adversarial attacks by other companies as well? It seems that he is embracing the first one that comes along.
