Proceeding contribution from Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill [HL].


Energy Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. It was not my intention to say that there should be some kind of Napoleonic order whereby a single method should be approached. We have to recognise that there may well be differing situations or challenges. However, the point that I was trying to get across is that a consistency within that is still needed—a consistency that sometimes sacrifices and reduces complexity to make it a little more simple and straightforward. It should not be a rigid one-size-fits-all approach. I am sorry if I gave that impression because I do not think that we are more than a few millimetres apart on this issue.
