Sir George Young
The process that my hon. Friend outlines—whatever feelings it may engender—is set out in statute and enshrined in legislation. I would be misleading him if I said I had any plans to amend it.
Caroline Lucas (Brighton, Pavilion) (Green)
The Government’s decision to appeal against the Court ruling that it was illegal to slash solar tariffs retrospectively raises critical questions about whether the UK is a safe place to invest at all. The CBI has said that it
“creates a mood of uncertainty that puts off investors”.
May we therefore have an urgent debate on the impact of that decision on investor confidence in the UK?
Sir George Young
I cannot promise an early debate, and the hon. Lady will know—I suspect that she was in her place—that that was dealt with at some length an hour ago in Department of Energy and Climate Change questions.
