Energy Bill [HL]

Lord Skelmersdale Excerpts

Wednesday 26th January 2011 Grand Committee

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Lord Skelmersdale)]

My Lords, if there is a Division in the Chamber while we are sitting, the Committee will adjourn as soon as the Division Bells are rung and resume after 10 minutes.

Amendments 21ZA, 21ZB, 21ZC not moved.

Clause 40 : Power to make tenants' energy efficiency improvements regulations: England and Wales

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I have to inform the Committee that in Clause 40 if Amendment 21A is agreed, I cannot call Amendment 21B by virtue of pre-emption.

Amendment 21A

Moved by

--- Later in debate ---

[Lord Grantchester]

In response to the noble Baroness, I will not move the amendment, but I nevertheless tell her that we are greatly concerned that the legislation does not specify whether it is a court or a tribunal. Although I note her words, these are the sort of instances where—

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees]

I am afraid that I must interrupt. If the noble Lord wishes a further response, he must move the amendment. If not, I am afraid that he must be silent.

[Lord Grantchester]

I beg the Committee’s forgiveness in getting the procedure wrong. I think that I have made the case several times and will pick the issue up later.
