Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

The Minister accepted earlier that it might be necessary to accelerate rules on smart meters in relation to new build. Ground source heat pumps are obviously a viable technology for new build. Would he be interested in a variation of the heat incentive, perhaps on an accelerated time scale, which might encourage the use of ground source heat pumps in such buildings?
