Proceeding contribution from Chris Heaton-Harris (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on National Planning Policy Framework.
National Planning Policy Framework
As a former Member of the European Parliament I can remember the directive that we passed, but it does not tell a country how to achieve its renewable energy targets by specifying which sectors it should promote; it simply sets a target, and there is an implication to hit it. Allowing local people to choose which types of renewable energy they would like to see in their local community would bring on more renewable energy projects, not fewer.
