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 interested that the noble Lord says that it is a fundamental change and defends it as such. He has already expressed another view: that it is not a fundamental change but a sort of tweaking. Both those views come from people who support the amendment. Our argument is that the noble Lord, Lord Redesdale, is right. It is a fundamental change for Ofgem that places secure and sustainable energy as its principal objective. It must only have regard to other areas, including competition and consumer interest.
