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


Energy Bill

My hon. Friend is making a very good argument. On market mechanisms, does he not agree that we might look back at a previous Bill on feed-in tariffs? I know it depends on the scale of generation, but there is a possibility of helping emerging technologies through the feed-in tariff applied. Although the Department of Energy and Climate Change has put in place a very good tariff structure, is there not an argument for having a higher rate—perhaps only temporarily, for a few years—to encourage those new technologies?
