Before I sit down, my personal opinion is that we have not had enough parliamentary debate or scrutiny on the role of CCS and not enough opportunity has come forward from the Government to discuss these things. Huge amounts of money are being put forward. It is important that these things are debated and scrutinised. It is important that they provide value for money. These are brand new and, in lots of cases, untested technologies. It is important that these things are scrutinised and reviewed. It is also important that this technology is primarily used for difficult or hard-to-abate sectors. This is not a technology that allows the fossil fuel companies a “get out of jail free” card. We welcome these amendments.
