Item No. 1 is minutes of the meeting of 10 December 2008 which have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed. We have received a reply from the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources following receipt of our draft legislation:
I wish to acknowledge receipt of the copy of the draft Offshore Renewable Energy Development Bill 2009.
I greatly appreciate the work the Committee did in this proposed Bill and I will consider the approach recommended as part of the review we are doing of offshore energy and development regulations.
I recommend that we invite the Minister to the committee to discuss this legislation among other items. Is that agreed? Agreed.
We have received an environmental analysis of the Government's house building plans from the House of Commons Audit Committee Report on Greener Homes which was published on the "Policy Hub" website.
