As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.

This is the bit we have all been looking forward to, because I hope that with your permission, Mr. Deputy Speaker, we shall be able to range much more widely than when we were constrained by amendments and new clauses. My remarks, sadly, probably will not be able to be concluded by 2.30, but I am sure that we can look forward to another full day of debate on Third Reading, to do the Bill proper justice. I should like to open with a quote from the Prime Minister’s very good evidence to the Liaison Committee on 7 February. He said that"““whether the climate changes or not is not going to depend on the UK””." That sets a useful frame for Third Reading. By the way, the Prime Minister went on to say that climate change"““is dependent on those huge economic motors and in particular China and India””." That is one aspect that I hope we shall be able to explore on Third Reading, given the title of the Bill. The long title of the Bill gives us some good guidance for framing our debate. It talks variously about"““the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases””," which we have to a large extent touched on today, in respect of the contribution that might be made by microgeneration and so on; ““the promotion of microgeneration””, on which we rightly spent a long time; and"““the use of heat produced from renewable sources””." There is a cornucopia of important issues that we can and should explore on Third Reading.
