One of the faults of the scheme that we inherited from the Labour Government was that there was no way of recognising within the tariffs any sort of community scheme. One way in which we will reform the scheme will be to consider creating a special tariff for community schemes, which were totally ignored in the system set up by Labour Members.
Alec Shelbrooke (Elmet and Rothwell) (Con)
Will the Minister reassure the House that anyone on the existing feed-in tariff will not see it reduced?
Gregory Barker
Absolutely; these changes do not apply to anybody already claiming the tariff.
