Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 14 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on Fuel: Electricity Supply Licences.


Fuel: Electricity Supply Licences

I am not trying to tempt my noble friend to do so. I am merely trying to tempt him to spend some of his time subsequently discussing it with me. I agree that the EMR review is an interesting paper, and I have read it with great interest. However, I think it misses the point about solar. I will argue with my noble friend about his use of the term ““not retrospective””, and I suspect that my noble friend Lord Liverpool would too. If you put a lot of money into a project and the Government then produce a cut-off that makes it impossible to realise that project, while there may be a few lucky people in Cornwall, there are a lot of unlucky people elsewhere who are losing what for them is a lot of money, even if it is not for the Government. I beg leave to withdraw my Motion. Motion withdrawn. Tabled by
