Mr Jonathan Sayeed (Mid Bedfordshire, Conservative)

I would like to make a brief statement on the scope of the debate. We have already had a broad debate on promoting renewable energy. This morning's debate concerns regulatory objectives for the purposes of part 1 of the Electricity Act 1989. Hon. Members should not repeat general arguments from the previous debate. In addition, those sitting at the back of the Room who wish to make points should speak up. Otherwise, the Hansard writer will be unable to hear them over the noise of the air conditioning.Clause 84 Gas and Electricity Markets Authority sustainability duty
