Energy Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitty (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 April 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill [HL].

My Lords, I beg to move Amendment 68, and if my voice holds out I will also speak to Amendment 74. I appreciate that the Bill is primarily about the system, the capital investment and the totality of the supply of electricity, but, as the Minister recognised in his reply to the first group, the issues among the public are, “How much does it

cost?”, “What effect does this have on my standard of living?”, and, in particular for the more vulnerable consumers, “Can I afford to keep my family and my house warm?”. There is no mention of any new initiatives in the Bill.
