Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2026

Debate

Contracts for Difference (Allocation) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Contribution

This SI does not inspire confidence. One would have hoped that there was a proper framework already established to address any appeals that come forward on this extremely important policy, which, in the words of the Minister himself, is a flagship government policy. It is a great pity that, only after a whole series of errors—the Minister called them minor errors but there is no guarantee that they will be minor; they could be significant—anybody who is in receipt of an approval may now be told that NESO has just had another look and it is not going to be approved. That is not a minor error; it is a matter of real concern with major financial consequences.
