Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) 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)
That reinforces the point that we need to encourage the diversification of gas supply. Also, while this country is no longer self-sufficient, we need to ensure that we make the most of our remaining reserves in the North Sea, which are considerable. I also refer noble Lords to the decision made by my right honourable friend the Chancellor a few weeks ago about the tax incentive given to development west of Shetland, which is enormously important.
