Energy Bill

had given notice of his intention to move Amendment No. 27: 27: After Clause 83, line 17, at end insert— ““( ) The installation prescribed in subsection (1) must be implemented within 10 years of the passing of this Act.”” The noble Lord said: My Lords, the Minister’s statement shows that the new department means business. Although it is not part of the process with feed-in tariffs, it gives the Bill and the process real teeth. I therefore welcome this statement, as will the industry and consumers, because it gives a certainty that we have not had for some time. I therefore shall not move my amendment. [Amendment No. 127 not moved.]
