Infrastructure Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Daniel Byles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Infrastructure Bill [Lords].

Is my right hon. Friend struck, as I am, by the fact that the Committee on Climate Change—hardly made up of a rabidly right-wing bunch of cut-throat business people—has expressly stated that a domestic shale gas industry can be entirely consistent with our emission reduction targets, because the lifecycle emissions of domestically produced shale gas are lower than those of imported liquefied natural gas? This is simply about gas substitution. It is not about burning more gas; it is about burning domestic gas.
