Clause 1 - Sustainable energy policy
Sustainable Energy Bill
12:00 pm
Ms Sue Doughty (Guildford, Liberal Democrat)
I am a little concerned about the direction that the Minister may be taking in his speech, although I appreciate that it is early in the proceedings. He talks about the Bill being prescriptive, but surely its purpose is to prescribe the steps—and the way in which we measure them—being taken to deliver renewable and sustainable energy. If the Minister is going to do that anyway, what is the problem with including in the Bill the matters that are to be reported on? Without such reporting, we will have substantial problems.
