Proceeding contribution from Lord Crickhowell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 January 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Revised Draft Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1).

Revised Draft Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1)

Clearly, we are not just dealing with the safety of individuals and property. The security of our whole energy policy is dependent on these facilities being safe. However, I hope that the Minister and his colleagues will look again at the possibility of referring to offshore LNG facilities, rather than taking the view that these facilities must in future always be close to centres of population with long pipelines. Examples from other parts of the world should guide us here.
