Proceeding contribution from Greg Clark (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

They should be adequate for the potential in their area. The Secretary of State has talked about having clusters for CCS. It is possible to make an assessment of how many such future plants might be able to make use of the pipelines. It is wrong to spend public money on building pipelines that will be adequate only for the demonstration plant and then to have to repeat installation if the process is successful. That is a bonkers approach; it is a waste of public money.
