Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill [Lords].


Energy Bill [Lords]

One problem that we have in making that assessment is that, as I have said, this is the first scheme of its kind in the world. If an economist is trying to make a projection of what is going to happen in future, they usually examine what has happened in the past, but there is no history for this scheme, so it will be a case of ““suck it and see””. However, later in my speech I will give some estimates of what will happen if the scheme progresses as rapidly as I would like it to.
