Energy Bill

I am sure that my noble friend—but not only him—will be cheered. This is a great relief. The Government seem to have a sort of reflex whereby they never seem to want to report anything to Parliament that we suggest. There is probably no issue about which people are going to be more anxious in the years ahead than whether we have a secure supply at any given moment. Once a year is not too frequent for this. It is a great relief that the Minister is doing this, as I thought for a moment that I was going to have to get up and be very cross indeed, instead of which I am delighted.
