Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.

Energy Bill

I do not think that that refutes my point—that businesses never set out to regulate themselves—but anyway, we have been round that course at least three times, so let us move on. New clause 25 is the most robust and specific of the three new clauses on offer. It would make it absolutely clear that an EPS must be introduced, and it would set a clear target of 75 per cent. for emissions captured, compared with the equivalent had CCS not been fitted.
