Proceeding contribution from Lord Woolmer of Leeds (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

To press the matter, for clarification, how many years do the Government have in mind? That is not in the Bill, so we do not know what it will be. We are agreeing to a particular system. If this was nuclear waste, a lot of questions would be asked about that kind of detail. How long after the storage facility is full would the ongoing liability, and hence a licence on different terms, be given for?
