Great British Energy Bill

Debate between Lord Faulkner of Worcester and Lord Fuller

Report stage
Tuesday 11th February 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Fuller (Con)]

My Lords, I am disappointed that the Minister did not adequately engage on the issues that I raised. For example, he mentioned biodiversity as being a matter, but that is not included at all, in any way, shape or form, in the Amendment 38 that he moved. I just think there is an insufficient balance between carbon and those other matters on sustainability.

It looks like we may have lost the battle this evening, but make no mistake: Labour’s war on the countryside continues. In the circumstances, I will not press this to the vote, and I beg leave to withdraw my amendment with disappointment.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Faulkner of Worcester) (Lab)]

The noble Lord should not have spoken to the amendment if he intended not to move it, but we will take that as not moved.
