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


Energy Bill

The difference between me and the hon. Gentleman is that I recognise that this proposal will have a cost: we are providing £4 million to make those pilots possible. This comes back to image versus substance. He wants to claim that he can give £6,500 to every household in the country, costing up to £180 billion, and that it will cost no public money. That is clearly a con.
