Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill - Report (27 Jun 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: For the avoidance of doubt, the party’s position is to support the amendment.

Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill - Report (27 Jun 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: My Lords, I support the amendment, to which I have added my name. The first basis on which I do so is that, like the noble Baroness, Lady Neville-Rolfe, I regard the cap as an unfortunate necessity. The ambition and the emphasis must be to end the cap as soon as possible. Therefore we need to focus minds on the creation of that effective marketplace.

Hinkley Point C - Question (26 Jun 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Statement by the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change on 17 July 2013 (HC Deb, col 106WS), how the package of benefits for communities in the areas around Hinkley Point C has been implemented so far; and how much the benefits provided to date have been worth.

Hinkley Point C - Question (26 Jun 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: I thank the noble Lord for that Answer, but I think the local community were expecting something a little sooner, from business rates, which would have come in the local government finance Bill, but that was not in the Queen’s Speech. I take into account what the Minister said, but, given that Hinkley is already under construction, the local council there does not feel that the community is...

Brexit: Energy Security (European Union Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note ( 6 Jun 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: My Lords, we have had an excellent debate and I congratulate my noble friend Lord Teverson and the EU sub-committee on this excellent report on the energy security ramifications of leaving the EU. Our status as a full member of the EU has, up to now, ensured our energy security, efficient trading and a focus on energy efficiency while, as mentioned by the noble Lord, Lord Krebs, also ensuring...

Nuclear Safeguards Bill - Commons Amendment ( 6 Jun 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: My Lords, to be frank, I wish that we could have just stayed in Euratom, which would be the simplest and most straightforward answer to nuclear safeguards, but I am relieved that the Government have listened to the concerns expressed on all sides of the House during the passage of the Bill, and I am very grateful that an amendment has been laid with which we can all agree. It is an important...

Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill - Second Reading (22 May 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: I should make it clear to the Minister that we support the cap.

Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill - Second Reading (22 May 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: My Lords, I thank all noble Lords for their contributions, even the noble Viscount, Lord Ridley, although I fear he and I will never agree on certain matters. A cap should never have been necessary and would not have been necessary if the big six were not greedy and if the regulator had used his teeth. It is, as the noble Lord, Lord Lennie, said, a measure of their market failure that we are...

Written Answers — Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Recycling: EU Law (16 May 2018)

Smart Meters Bill - Report (15 May 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: My Lords, I support this proposed new clause on the national plan for smart metering, to which I have added my name. As I said in Committee, I came to the smart meter table relatively late, far more recently than most of your Lordships, who seem to have been debating it in one form or another for some years. I was shocked at the seemingly piecemeal way it has evolved, as if it were not one of...

Energy Security: Gas Production - Question (17 Apr 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: I thank the Minister for his Answer, but I have three recommendations for him.

Energy Security: Gas Production - Question (17 Apr 2018)

Baroness Featherstone: Well, I will see at the end if he agrees with my recommendations. First, does he agree that it would be good to end the ugly and unnecessary distraction of fracking? Secondly, stepping up support for renewable gases, given the trouble the Government are in on decarbonising heat, might be a very good idea. Thirdly, making energy efficiency a national infrastructure priority would contribute to...
