Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on UK Government's Energy Policy.

UK Government's Energy Policy

I commend the right hon. Gentleman and the hon. Member for Wrexham for the support they have given to the photovoltaic industry. However, if we reflect on the experience of feed-in tariffs in certain continental countries such as Spain, should we not be cautious? In Spain, demand was so great that the money ran out, and there was a complete cut-off in support. Surely, we want more sustained support, even if at a lower level than we first hoped.
