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

The noble Lord has anticipated almost everything that I have to say; I am going to ask him to withdraw his amendment. Simply, we must preserve flexibility. We do not know whether a medium-sized business might want a different specification from a small-sized business or from the domestic consumer. It may be, as the noble Lord says, that one size fits all, but we see no point in pre-empting that position. We want to maintain the necessary degree of flexibility, so I ask him to withdraw his amendment.
