Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I apologise if I referred to that Act at least twice in my responses to the noble Baroness's amendments. It embodies a regime that governs very similar issues and has proved successful. I emphasise that this could become an indictable offence with unlimited penalties. Therefore, she need not worry about the constraints of the £5,000 fine if it is an indictable offence.
