Proceeding contribution from Lord Redesdale (Liberal Democrat) 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 apologise for not being here at the beginning of the debate. The Minister said that consultation would allow us to consider all the facts. I have been through some of the figures. Since 2001, there have been 17 consultations on this issue. Perhaps another 17 consultations will lead us to some further conclusion, but every group to which I have spoken has spent vast amounts of time writing in to inform consultations. Surely the information exists already. If that is not the case, perhaps the whole process needs to go out to consultation.
