I, too, am greatly enjoying my hon. Friend's presentation. If it is his intention that new clause 15 replace new clause 8—I presume that it would do were it to be passed by this House—an emissions performance standard would apply only to "new electricity generation plant." That is what new clause 15 states, but that provision was not in his original proposal. Does he, thus, accept that existing generation plants would be unabated and move into the 2020s with no emissions performance standard applying to them whatever?
