Proceeding contribution from Lord Oxburgh (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.
Energy Bill
My Lords, is the Minister aware that in eastern Australia this rising block tariff is used on domestic water? It is set at a very high level so that it does not have the undesirable consequences that have been discussed, but it does stop people leaving the tap running all the time. One could think of the Government using a level of VAT for a very high level of usage, if they chose.
