UK Shale Gas

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lilley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 July 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Backbench debate on UK Shale Gas.

Will the hon. Lady make it clear that what she calls a fossil fuel subsidy in the case of the UK is, overwhelmingly, simply a lower rate of VAT on all energy use? Is she calling for a higher rate of VAT on all energy use, or just a higher rate on fossil fuels? To describe it as a subsidy is surely nonsense.
