Oral Answers to Questions

Chris Heaton-Harris Excerpts

Thursday 19th June 2014 Commons Chamber

[Michael Fallon]

I discuss these matters with the devolved Administrations in Wales, in Scotland, and so on. The hon. Gentleman is right: we have to make sure that biomass is properly sustainable and that the criteria applied to these plants are even across the different devolved Administrations.

[Chris Heaton-Harris (Daventry) (Con)]

Does the Minister stick by his Department’s claims that meeting our 2050 targets will cost billions more without the use of sustainable biomass?

[Michael Fallon]

I do not think so, is the answer to that.
