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


Energy Bill

Although this will come up in a debate on a later amendment, deep underground depositories of carbon dioxide in saline aquifers next to power stations are presently prohibited, and an EU directive change would be required for that. Is that what the Minister is implying? Obviously I do not expect him to answer immediately, but perhaps he will do so at the end of his replies to other points.
