Proceeding contribution from Lord Crickhowell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].

Climate Change Bill [HL]

My Lords, I was not in any way accepting that the statutory instruments part of the Bill was the effective bit; I was welcoming the fact that the Government have strengthened the Bill in the provisions regarding reporting and explaining to Parliament exactly what is going on. My point was that it is then up to Parliament to make use of the fact that these reports have to be given to it to make them effective. I expressed some doubt about whether that has always been the practice of Parliament, but hoped that things would change.
