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


Energy Bill

The noble Lord, Lord Teverson, has put his finger on an important point of drafting. It reminds me of the story about the keebird, which flies around and around in ever-diminishing circles. In the interests of propriety, I shall not go any further than that. He is absolutely right in that you cannot have regulations imposing obligations on yourself. Something has gone wrong in the drafting. The noble Lord has raised an interesting if minor point.
