Proceeding contribution from Baroness Wilcox (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 5 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend Lord Jenkin and the noble Baroness, Lady Young of Old Scone, for tabling the amendments and giving us the opportunity to debate the 3 megawatt cap. Without doubt, the cap, both its existence and the level at which it is set, is one of the most controversial areas of the amendment, with strong feelings expressed, as we have heard, on both sides of the House. I hope that the Minister will be able to provide us with a proper explanation of how this level was chosen.
