Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

The Mayor currently has an informal climate change action plan in which he has set out targets as he sees them.

This follows on from a consultation that took place regarding the powers that the Mayor should be afforded. That is the context in which we are talking.

I have agreed to take the measure away and think about it. I shall come back with a more considered response before Report. On Question, amendment agreed to. Clause 39 [Duty of Mayor and Assembly to address climate change]:
