Proceeding contribution from Lord Lilley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Annual Energy Statement.
Annual Energy Statement
My right hon. Friend made the breathtaking claim that he intended to keep energy prices as low as possible. How does he square that with the Stern review, on which his policy to combat climate change is based, and which makes clear that that policy can work only if energy prices are raised to include the external cost of global heating, and if the cost of hydrocarbon-based energy is also raised to make it more expensive than other forms of sustainable energy? In short, if his policy is not hurting, it is not working.
