Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Electricity Market Reform.

Electricity Market Reform

I welcome part of the statement, although certainly not the part on nuclear, and I suspect that the devil will lie in the detail of the rest. For example, can the Secretary of State confirm what level of emission performance standards he intends to introduce, and whether both coalition partners remain committed to their pre-election position that any standard will be set at the equivalent of the emissions of a modern gas plant—in other words, 300 to 400 grams of CO2 per kWh?
