Clause 9 - Duty not to exceed allowances
Waste and Emissions Trading Bill [Lords]
10:30 am

Mr John Hayes (South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
I do not want to be pedantic, nor do I want the hon. Gentleman to say something that he
could not robustly defend. It would not be fair to say that hypothecation was a Liberal Democrat concept. Liberal Democrats may frequently refer to it or draw on it in forming policy, but I would not say that it was a Liberal Democrat concept, and I would not want the hon. Gentleman to say something inaccurate.
