Energy Bill

Perhaps I could make one final comment. As my noble friend Lord Redesdale said, energy efficiency and saving and energy poverty are not areas mentioned in the Bill, and this is the first time that we have started to talk about them. I remember praising the speech on Second Reading by the noble Lord, Lord O’Neill. I would point out that that speech followed a stinging attack on the Front Benches of the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats for not coming up with ideas. I note that our Benches have managed to slip in amendments around energy efficiency and fuel poverty, but I do not notice any from the noble Lord.
