Clause 7
Green Energy (Definition and Promotion) Bill
4:15 pm
Peter Ainsworth (East Surrey, Conservative)
It certainly came as a surprise to discover that there was no legal entity called England. In consequence of this discovery, I need to correct something I said on Second Reading, when I took the House of Commons Library to task. In its very helpful document about the Bill, it said—I thought erroneously—that the provisions applied to England and Wales. I went out of my way to calm people, as I know how interested in legislation people in Wales can get if they think that it affects them, so I am afraid that I erroneously corrected the House of Commons Library. It does, indeed, apply to England and Wales; except, of course, that it does not.
