Proceeding contribution from Lord Puttnam (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 think that I know what is meant by consultation. It tends to be a desk exercise. Can the Minister imagine any situation in which a consultation would not be better informed and more conclusive if it included the creation in different parts of the country of, let us say, three schools or a hospital which used quite different forms of energy generation, thereby creating some kind of evidence base? I would not mind if it did not work, because we would at least know something. In its present form, consultation will be an essentially negative process.
