Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

Of course. We hope that full analysis proves that that is so, so that substantial sums of investment may be called forth to meet the objective. However, with such substantial sums involved, and my noble friend’s contribution being a hypothesis rather than a taken fact, it is only right that the Government subject it to serious analysis. When we talk of the benefits of any rollout and the meters, we are taking his point into account: there may be greater energy efficiency because individuals becoming more aware of the costs will moderate their use accordingly.
