Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.
Energy Bill
Those obligations are imposed in any case, but I venture to think that if the alleged offence were against the health and safety regulations or legislation, the relevant body would seek to bring enforcement proceedings against the failure. The noble Baroness has been sharp enough to notice what I said: there might be a higher maximum sentence than under these provisions. These provisions are not necessarily to deal with that type of obligation; we are talking about a different type of obligation. If it is a health and safety obligation, the Health and Safety Executive is the right body to consider prosecution.
