Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Iain Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 October 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill.

I understand that. The hon. Gentleman will recall that I posed a number of questions in Committee: could the green investment bank invest in forests or in the supply chain for the automotive industry to ensure that we have low-carbon engines? There was a whole range of different debates in Committee, which I thought were useful. As I said, there is a balance to be struck, and that is what new clause 22 is about. Is the aim to achieve what we all want to achieve—igniting, for want of a better term, the green economy—or is the provision too prescriptive? There is a balance between being too broad and too narrow.
