MICRO WIND AND THE HON MEMBER FOR CUNNINGHAME NORTH

Early day motion 340, tabled 7 December 2004 by Sue Doughty (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 111 members.

That this House congratulates the former Energy Minister, the honourable Member for Cunninghame North, for installing a micro wind generator on his own house; notes that this cutting edge technology is no more intrusive than a television satellite antenna dish and is expected to save an estimated 0.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide per house per annum, as well as reducing electricity bills by up to one third; and looks forward to measures to promote this and similar technologies being included in the micro-generation strategy now being drawn up by the Government under section 82 of the Energy Act 2004.

Signatures by party: Labour 61, Liberal Democrat 29, Conservative 7, Labour/Co-operative 5, Plaid Cymru 3, Scottish National Party 2, UUP 2, Independent 1.
