Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

My Lords, my noble friend pushes us a little far from our debate. I very much welcome him to our debates; it is very good to see him in his place. Although there are issues about connection, offshore wind has a potential part to play in meeting our renewables target, but not just offshore wind. I am very keen on technology development in wave power and the other marine technology in which this country has a lead. Having seen a prototype model in Lowestoft on Friday, I am especially enthusiastic. We should not underestimate the potential that water, through offshore wind and wave, has to make to meeting our renewables obligation.
