Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will seek powers to impose a non-fossil fuel obligation for electricity generation.

Provisions to enable the promotion of the generation of electricity from renewable sources were included in the proposal for a draft Electricity (NI) Order published on 19 April. My right hon. Friend hopes to lay such an order before the House shortly.
