Proceeding contribution from Angela C Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Annual Energy Statement.


Annual Energy Statement

Constituents have informed me not only that they are angry about the drop in the tariff and the potential loss of jobs in my area—these are people who have invested in the solar energy industry—but that the arbitrary deadline of 12 December means that there has been a rush for installation of solar energy in people's homes, which is producing a sharp increase in the price of the components in panels. Does this not show that the Secretary of State has thought very little about the impact of this policy on the energy industry?
