Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Daniel Byles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 June 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.

I entirely agree. This needs to be seen in a much wider context than energy; this is about jobs and investment, including inward investment.

Gas will be on the system for a long time; we need to bring forward new gas generation. We need to increase renewables on the system, and we desperately need new nuclear. There is hardly a credible scenario for a decarbonised future that does not involve new nuclear on the system. We need to incentivise generation capacity in all three. The Bill is long overdue, and I will support it this evening, because it will achieve that aim.
