Proceeding contribution from Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill [HL].

Energy Bill [HL]

Could I just follow up the Minister’s point about the work that Ofgem is doing? I thought I understood him to say—perhaps he did not—that if it came to the conclusion that the UK needed more gas storage as part of its studies, action would be taken. Does that mean to say that its findings could come in time to make an amendment to the Bill? That could be important. My second question about the Ofgem inquiry is: is he willing to make sure that Ofgem is brought quickly up to date with this debate, so that it can take it into account in its study?
