Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
My Lords, I am happy to give that guarantee. The noble Baroness will be aware that in relation to the north, a wealth asset fund will be created from any exploitation of shale gas, but any treatment will be totally equitable throughout the United Kingdom.
Lord Geddes (Con)
My Lords, not for the first time, I ask my noble friend: what are the prospects for tidal power?
Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
My Lords, I am aware of my noble friend’s interest in that. He will be aware that the Swansea lagoon project has planning permission and there are many other promising tidal lagoon projects waiting in the wings. Tidal power is a matter to which the Government are giving close attention. It is a very exciting prospect.
