Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Act 2006 (Sources of Energy and Technologies) Order 2008

I am very grateful to the noble Lord for his questions. Currently, there is no provision—certainly, not by secondary legislation—to change the limits of 50 kilowatts and 45 kilowatts. However, I will undertake to ask my noble friend the Minister with responsibility for energy. Given the pressures of time, perhaps I may leave a message with the noble Lord’s office on that issue. As regards further technologies, it is assumed that for the present the list as drafted in the Bill will be adequate for purpose. Of course, one can never legislate entirely for technology. If there is a necessity to come back to it, I am sure that the department would be very willing to do so. Right now, we believe that this constitutes the totality of what is conceivable out there—but technology is not always conceivable. I am very grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Wilcox, for her support, for the cross-party support and for the drafting of the original Bill. On Question, Motion agreed to.
