Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill

I thank my right hon. Friend—[Interruption]—my hon. Friend. He is not right hon. yet. I meant right as in correct. I thank him for his contribution once again. The paper, ““Economic instruments to improve household energy efficiency””, jointly published by DEFRA and the Treasury in 2003, lists no fewer than 12 separate economic instruments to encourage energy efficiency, including council tax and stamp duty rebates, which have already been subject to an early-day motion. I will not emit any further CO2 on the proposals listed in that report, except to say that we must be wary that the list does not grow unchecked. I have no hesitation in speaking in support of the principle of the Bill, but we have a duty to ensure that its provisions will be implemented as well as they have been drafted.
