On the other issues that I was going to raise, the noble Earl, Lord Russell, put them very eloquently. There are wider concerns, which critics of the measure have raised, principally in the context of the CfD framework, rather than the specific nature of the SI. I hope the Minister will accept that when we come to the energy Bill, we will want to concentrate on that framework and, if necessary, revisit some of the implications made in the SI, since this is right at the heart of the Government’s energy policy. We need to make sure that we get it right and do our best to support any government changes that achieve a better outcome for the energy market and ultimately, and most importantly, for the energy consumers.
