Energy Bill [HL]

Debate between Lord Jenkin of Roding and Baroness Harris of Richmond

Monday 24th January 2011 Grand Committee

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

If Amendment 20A is agreed to, I cannot call Amendment 20B by reason of pre-emption.

[Lord Jenkin of Roding]

My Lords, I also put down amendments—Amendments 20B and 20D—which are differently worded but would have exactly the same effect. Having listened to my noble friend Lady Noakes, I have nothing to add, except to support her fully. I believe that it is normal practice for the Government, having considered the proposals of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee, to seek to accept them.
