Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Reckless (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.

I do not think I should give way any more.

Why should we not just allow people to build power plants if they get local planning permission, thereby allowing them to support and pay the local community and sell into the market? Why do we want to ban some of the cheapest possible technologies for producing electricity? Why do we want to subsidise others, too—tens of billions of pounds might be transferred to an emanation of the French state? We should instead put our constituents first, and prioritise cheap electricity bills for them, and vote against this Bill tonight.
