Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

My understanding is that it has won the potential of grant support from the European Union, and that the company is in discussions at this moment with the EU about when the funds can be transferred. So I think that the answer is that it should be seen to be in parallel with the competitive process, not in competition with it. Clearly, one hopes that it will be able to take advantage of the money that is being made available.
