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

Energy Bill

My Lords, I support the sentiments of the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin. This issue was first raised in the other place. The subsection that this amendment amends was brought into the Bill as a result of representations that began in the other place and were pursued by me and others in Committee and by the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin, on Report. It is a good example of the Government listening and responding. They have always wanted to achieve what the industry was asking for. Therefore, it is a pleasure to support that achievement.
