The Labour leader and former Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, has tabled a Parliamentary debate on the governments decision to cut feed-in-tariffs for larger installations.
Miliband, who's time in the Department of Environment and Energy saw the tariffs introduced, has now assured a full Parliamentary debate on the matter will have to take place.
Speaking in support of the motion, Shadow Energy Minister Huw Irranca-Davies said: "Minister Greg Barker's decision to go ahead with the proposed dramatic feed-in tariff reductions for community, school and hospital schemes is a big blow to British industry and betrays the Coalition's promise to be 'the greenest government ever'. This decision not only risks thousands of jobs in an industry that was beginning to flourish, but shows there is no coherent plan for helping communities to produce green energy."
The move was welcomed by environmental groups and numerous industry organisations.
