Proceeding contribution from Lord Woolmer of Leeds (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I had been expecting Amendment No. 35 to be moved. I have a very brief point to make on it. Amendment No. 35 relates to subsection (8)(b) of new Section 32D. As so often with these provisions, very broad powers are given, to be dealt with no doubt in regulation. What kind of conditions might lead to a review of the whole or part of the banding provision? The measure is extremely broadly drawn, and I appreciate that that is helpful in regulatory terms, but it would be helpful to know what kind of conditions the Minister and the department might have in mind.
