Proceeding contribution from Thomas Docherty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Energy Efficiency.


Energy Efficiency

I am grateful to my hon. Friend, who, it is fair to say, is an expert on this issue. He is entirely right that biomass has a role to play, but it must be UK-produced fuel, and he is right to give examples. Stevens Croft in Dumfriesshire has been doing an excellent job of taking cast-off from the timber industry. That is an excellent example. As I mentioned, however, we should not be importing fuel from Europe or further afield.
