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 a narrower concept than the Government of where costs lie. To place them on the meter only will not do. There are other costs involved in restructuring and an obligation on society. I congratulate him on his ready calculation, but it is not just the meter. I again say to my noble friend that we do not see that there is a gain from placing in legislation this degree of restriction, but I recognise that he has support for his position. We will be prepared to discuss this matter further, but I want him to withdraw his amendment today.
