The criticism came as the House of Commons was considering the Government’s flagship Energy Bill.
Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg was among a group of Tories who pressed ministers to avoid putting ‘undue burdens’ on people while reforming the energy sector
The Bill seeks to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, unlock investment in low-carbon energy technologies, increase resilience and produce more energy in the UK, and lower energy bills in the longer term. But several Tory MPs expressed concerns over the wider impact of the Bill and suggested it risks going too far too soon.
“This is going to be the first time that we are potentially criminalising people in this country for not being adherent to this new code of net zero. We should not be doing this lightly.” “We actually allow freedoms, we allow the market to decide and this Bill goes in the wrong direction.”
