Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) 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 Secretary of State claimed that his statement was consistent with the Committee on Climate Change's projections, but actually, it said last month that unabated coal should not form any part of our energy generation plans after 2020, whereas the statement only compels clean carbon capture and storage on 400 MW for each power station, and only expects the rest to be retro-fitted later. Does that not leave exactly the same dirty great loophole in his policy as existed before?
