Proceeding contribution from Lord Marland (Conservative) 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

The information is readily available on the internet, of course; that is a standard practice for public information. The inspection will not stop there; there will be a further inspection to ensure safety and that practices are being followed. An update on that inspection will again be published on the internet, so it will be there to compare. This pre-supposes that an inspection will be carried out and that we will sit back and say that nothing has to be done about it. The whole point about these inspections is that there will be a public record so that people can see that there are issues that need to be dealt with. Of course, the public will expect us to deal competently with those issues. There will be a constant process of information available in relation to the storage, the problems that occur and whether they are being sorted out. We hope that there will not be a mass of problems, but we never know. Motion agreed.
