Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy National Policy Statements.


Energy National Policy Statements

The hon. Gentleman has an understandable interest in a particular competitor in the competition, and he will understand that we have to go through a due process before making decisions. I said that early in the new year we will announce the next stage, including the allocation of £90 million, so he will have to wait until then. To be clear about the matter, however, let me say that we are absolutely not downgrading our ambitions on CCS; indeed, we are upgrading them. I have said today that we will have up to four demonstration projects: up to two of them will be post-combustion, and two of them will be pre-combustion.
