Proceeding contribution from Lord Broers (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Draft National Policy Statement for Fossil Fuel Electricity Generating Infrastructure (EN-2).


Draft National Policy Statement for Fossil Fuel Electricity Generating Infrastructure (EN-2)

I am sorry to add to the interruptions, but will the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin, tell us why BP and Shell abandoned both their large CCS projects? The BP project in Scotland was abandoned, I think, a year and a half ago. Perhaps the noble Lord will talk to the noble Lord, Lord Oxburgh, about that and understand why it was abandoned.
