Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Huw Irranca-Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.

May I make a point about the reasoned amendment? It is because of the go-ahead for licences for a new fleet of combined cycle gas turbine power stations, the potential for shale gas, and the current absence of the development of carbon capture and storage technology in this country that it is necessary to top up with a 2030 decarbonisation target. I think the Secretary of State is more than sympathetic to that idea, and that he would implement it if he were not encumbered by Cabinet colleagues.
