Proceeding contribution from Colin Challen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I entirely accept the urgency of this. I want an EPS to be in place at some point in the not too distant future. New clause 8 would allow for that and, as the Minister has said, existing legislation permits it. We will have this standard when we better understand the technology, legalities, disposal, transport and all the rest of it, and I do not think that that can be established in 12 months.
