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

I am sorry; the noble Lord is too polite—he did not catch it because I did not say it. I am advised that for these offences the maximum under summary jurisdiction will be £5,000, but let us not forget that these matters are also indictable. On indictment—I venture to think that if there were a serious breach, a serious offence, it may well be indictable—the Crown Court has the power to impose an unlimited fine.
