Infrastructure Bill [HL]

Debate between Lord Gardiner of Kimble and Lord Judd

Monday 10th November 2014 Lords Chamber

[Lord Judd]

Before the noble Lord sits down—

[Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Con)]

My Lords, I am looking at the Companion in terms of rules of debate on Report. We are getting quite close to contravening them and I would just like to say to noble Lords that we should be cautious of that.

[Lord Judd]

Before the noble Lord sits down, would he not agree that, whatever the value of the regulations and the means of implementing them that exist at the moment, it would be of considerable assistance to industry and those behind this important and vital initiative for the British economy to see clearly on the face of Bills such as this the areas on which they can and cannot concentrate their attention?

Energy Bill

Debate between Lord Gardiner of Kimble and Lord Judd

Tuesday 9th July 2013 Grand Committee

[Lord Gardiner of Kimble]

My Lords, if the guidance is repealed, an environmental duty in the electricity Acts and the SPS will cover the same ground as is currently the case. However, I will reflect on what the noble Lord has said and will write to him if there is anything more constructive on which I can report.

[Lord Judd]

My Lords, as I say, I take very seriously indeed what the Minister has said and will consider it carefully before Report and think how to respond appropriately then. At this stage, in the way that we do these things in Committee—what alternative is there?—I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
