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

The noble Lord's interpretation is not quite right. If he looks again at the clause, he will find that the licensing authority fulfils obligations, some of which it is responsible for enforcing. We are describing the obligations of those who are being licensed and defining what the licensing authority will be obliged to do within that context. I cannot conceive why an external body should dictate that necessary role to the licensing authority.
