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 thank the noble Lord for that. There are times when one has to take on trust what the Government say they are going to do. The noble Lord, Lord Teverson, and I were quite nervous at some stages that these things would not come forward, but the Minister seems to have been true to his word, as well as he could be, albeit in broad terms. We can accept only what is before us. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Teverson, that it is nice to see the word ““geothermal””, but we have admitted that we have a special interest from Cornwall in that. I suspect that we will face another energy Bill before too long. I beg leave to withdraw my amendment. Amendment No. 63, as an amendment to Amendment No. 60, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 64, as an amendment to Amendment No. 60, not moved.] On Question, Amendment No. 60 agreed to.
