Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (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

When I was researching the photovoltaics market, all the equipment came from Germany, Japan and the United States of America. Whole industries have been developed to produce the equipment, and it is now exported to countries like this one, which simply does not seem to manufacture it. Therefore, for someone like the noble Lord, Lord Teverson, if he had ordered photovoltaic equipment, he would have found that it was simply uneconomic to fit it.
