Proceeding contribution from Lord Marland (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill [HL].

Energy Bill [HL]

The answer is quite simple. We have to put in a prescribed date or it is unfair on those who have to fulfil their obligations by that time. If you do not prescribe the time when we are going to review it, they have no idea of the timetable on which they have to act, so it is very clear. I have made quite a concession already that we are going to review the first date, which will be 2013, and that thereafter there will be dates to monitor how this Bill goes forward. I disagree with the noble Lord on this rare occasion. We have to send clear signals to the market as to how this is going to operate.
