Renewable Heat Incentive

EDM number 143 in 2010-12, proposed by Alan Whitehead on 03/06/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Renewable energy.

That this House notes the major contribution that renewable heat can make in meeting the UK's legally binding renewable energy target, creating green jobs and reducing dependency on imported fossil fuels; further notes the Coalition Agreement's statement of intent to increase this target; supports the proposed Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI); further notes that current Ministers voted in the previous Parliament in support of the RHI and that industry confidence in the RHI has led to considerable investment in green jobs, manufacturing and installation capacity; and believes it is critically important for the Government to move quickly to maintain this confidence by making clear its intent to proceed with the RHI broadly in line with the recent consultation, subject to further consideration of the details and after full consideration of the consultation responses.

This motion has been signed by a total of 144 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
