Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Basildon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 January 2012. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Inspections etc.) Regulations 2012.


Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Inspections etc.) Regulations 2012

I am grateful to the noble Lord for answering the questions. Perhaps I may press him for clarification on one that he did not answer, which I am sure he just forgot. On reports of inspections being made publicly available, my question was not whether they would be—it is quite clear that they will be—but how they would be made publicly available. The noble Lord said that it would be by the public register. Is that a document that is easily available to local authorities and to those of us who have an interest? It is not something I have come across myself or read before. Secondly, if an inspector imposes conditions or requirements to be met within a certain timescale, will the information about whether and when the installation complies with any requirements for an inspection also be made publicly available? Otherwise it seems to me that the inspection report would be available, but the consequences from it would not be. I would like reassurance that both would be made publicly available.
