Proceeding contribution from Lord Livsey of Talgarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

My Lords, with the leave of the House, I take note of what the Minister said, but the Electricity Act 1989 is pre-devolution—prehistory as far as the constitution is concerned. We want measures to come from the Welsh Assembly to meet the sustainability targets in Wales. The priorities are different in Wales because, as I explained, there is a surplus of electricity in Wales. We need to convert to lower carbon types of electricity production. Those are our priorities, which are not necessarily those of the IPC in that context.
