Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.
I reassure the hon. Gentleman that no such decisions have yet been made. There would be no point in commissioning such a study if we had already made up our mind about all those issues. No decisions have been made and we need to consider all the issues that have been referred to. The study will be wide enough to consider the potential of other barrage schemes and other forms of tidal power around the UK, including in the Mersey and, closer to my constituency, in Morecombe bay. We should not rule out anything at this point. Our job is to maximise the potential contribution of renewable sources, from wherever they come. Part 3 of the Bill covers the decommissioning of energy installations.
