Energy Generation (Food Waste)

My hon. Friend may not know this, but I was something of a trailblazer in this field when my right hon. Friend the Member for Wells (Mr. Heathcoat-Amory) and I invested in an anaerobic facility in Dorset nearly 30 years ago. I am sorry to say that we lost all our money, but there is no doubt that even in those days, the aims and the opportunities were clear. As my hon. Friend has persuasively argued, the science has advanced very quickly, so the opportunities should not be confined to Ludlow, but should be nationwide.
