Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

My Lords, the new clause after Clause 40 includes some important delegated powers. The scheme was proposed very late, so the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee has not had a chance to consider them. The powers include powers in subsection (6) to amend primary legislation in subsection (5), so I would expect the affirmative resolution procedure to be used to approve such an order. I am not clear whether that will be the case. Can the Minister say how the powers will be exercised?
