Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
I apologise to my noble friend—I was not aware that Westminster did not charge. That may be an anomaly and not something that can go on for ever.
Lord Watts (Lab)
How difficult would it be to adapt street lights to be charging points?
Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
The noble Lord is stretching my technical knowledge at this point. I am sure that those things are being considered. Obviously, the Government are working closely with the industry on the design of charging points, because we want to make sure that they are accessible and do not obstruct the pavement—and we have seen much innovation in the area.
