Proceeding contribution from Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan (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 am sorry for that breach of our procedures. When considering questions of sustainability in respect of biomass cultivation, is the noble Lord prepared to recognise the contribution that could be made by genetically modified crops, which after all would only be burned in the end? They would not be part of the food chain. Would he be prepared to consider that, given recent announcements?
