Energy Bill [HL]

Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall Excerpts

Monday 31st January 2011 Grand Committee

Amendment 33 withdrawn.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall)]

My Lords, this may be a convenient moment for the Committee to take its customary short break. I suggest that it recommences at 5.25 pm.

--- Later in debate ---

[Lord Davies of Oldham]

I think that the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin, if he is not careful, is going to have to rise again and make exactly the same speech, although he made it in such a convincing fashion that he convinced me. It will be seen by the Committee that we were interested in making sure that these issues were very much to the fore. Following the intervention of the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin, we got the assurance from the Minister that the consultation that is going on includes these issues. That is all that I have to say.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

Does the noble Lord wish to move his amendment?

[Lord Davies of Oldham]

Probably not, my Lords.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I think that we will regard that as not moved.

Amendment 34ZB not moved.
