Proceeding contribution from Baroness Maddock (Liberal Democrat) 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]

My Lords, my name is attached to the amendments to which the noble Lord, Lord Best, has just spoken. I do not intend to say much. It is clear from the amendments I moved earlier that I have a great deal of sympathy for what the noble Lord is saying. Perhaps we can also discuss between the Committee and Report stages whether there is some merit in doing more to encourage the private rented sector and to help local authorities with this work. I support the noble Lord, Lord Best, and I hope the Minister can at least agree to discussions on the detailed proposals that have been put forward.
