who has a home must install solar energy, you instead say that there will be no approvals for all new buildings without installation of solar energy and then create incentives for those who already have buildings by subsidising or lowering the cost of the installation of that equipment. The Government can subsidise it and it will be possible for people to install it so that you promote it and support them to use clean energy. It cannot be achieved by making it compulsory. In fact, some Members in our Committee said that the regulations were bordering on absurdity. You cannot ...

It contravenes Section 13 of the Statutory Instruments Act which requires that the regulation should not contain matters which, in the opinion of ...
