Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

Does the Minister think it would be helpful for the Government to look into the effectiveness of the PUE and at whether more could be done in concert with business and wider society to develop a more effective measure, to give that clarity as to what power is being used, what water is being used, and what impact the data centres are having on our economy and on our society?
