Energy Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Chester (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill [HL].

Before the Minister sits down—I asked a specific question and I would like to encourage an answer. The noble and learned Lord, Lord Wallace, spoke of those who incurred expenditure under the March 2017 deadline who had, I think he said, a legitimate expectation that their investment could be carried through. Is the Minister saying that they do not have a legitimate expectation any more and that that can be changed by the legislation, or is it simply that the Government are legislating in the face of what might be regarded as a legitimate expectation?
