Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I am grateful to my noble friend. He says that he is not computer literate, but I would be grateful if he would give me some lessons about how to get round Google-world. I will reply to him seriously in a moment, but he should not assume that departments in Whitehall have not heard of computers or websites because they have. BERR has a specific area on its website focused on energy statistics. Whether that could be improved is the issue that he is raising. I will take that point away—without any promises of course—for further consideration. I have gone on a long time in answering this amendment and even the amendments that have not been moved and I will not make a habit of doing that, I assure the Committee. However, I am grateful to the noble Baroness.
