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, we are at the end of Third Reading. I take some comfort from the Minister’s reply, certainly on renewable heat and heat pumps. Obviously, we are nervous. Given that the Government have had a Damascene conversion so late in our consideration of the Bill and at Third Reading have brought forward amendments when we have so little time or information to go on, my colleagues in another place more than likely think that we have been rather wimpy and should have kept dividing the House.
