Energy Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Worthington (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill [HL].

On that point about the steel industry, one point I was trying to convey is that if we take control of our own carbon budgets then we would decide how to allocate emissions to the steel sector, for example, rather than it being dictated by the EU ETS credits. We could then make our budgets and be more flexible to allow for those sectors that need to retain emissions for longer and push down further on the power sector, which is overdelivering by a substantial margin. We could use that to move that allocation around and protect those industries that we choose to protect for slightly longer.
