Infrastructure Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Amber Rudd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 January 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Infrastructure Bill [Lords].

The short answer to that is yes. The purpose of HSE inspections is to ensure that there is safety and clarity. I believe that my hon. Friend will be reassured about that when he takes a closer look.

On new clause 19(c) and (d) and amendment 117, I reassure Members that we support the use of baseline monitoring. At issue is the appropriateness of the monitoring period and the requirements involved. The Environment Agency has the power to require baseline monitoring under the conditions that are set in the environmental permit. The operator reports that information to the Environment Agency, which places it on the public register.
