Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Security.

Energy Security

We will look at all proposals, but what is the constraint? The constraint is that we are spending up to £9.5 billion on carbon capture and storage from the levy, which will come from consumers around the country. We think that the priority lies in having four coal-fired demonstration projects, but the hon. Gentleman wants to tax more and to spend more from the levy. My hon. Friend the Minister of State will obviously look at any proposals in Committee.
