Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.

I assure my noble friend that the industry realises how strong the powers are. That was the reason for the visit of those Americans, who did not like those powers. Also, the Committee would want her to know that we have all experienced businesses who claim that they are in trouble from some government action when in fact there is an entirely different reason. I remember the oleochemical industry made a great deal of fuss about government environmental standards when in fact it had every intention of moving abroad in any case and just wanted somebody to blame.
