Proceeding contribution from Lord Redesdale (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.
Energy Bill
We on this side of the Committee support the sentiment of the amendment. Why are the Government keen to remove Section 172 of the Energy Act 2004? Are they trying to cut costs by doing so at this stage? The report is extremely valuable. Security of supply has changed year on year, and can change month on month, particularly with gas. I am reminded of a situation two years ago where LNG tankers from Qatar were redirected to America due to contractual obligations; that had a definite effect. Looking at the long term means dealing with short-term fluctuations in the market, which is where the report has been extremely useful. Is the provision just on the basis of cost, or will the information be made as readily available in other formats?
