Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].


Climate Change Bill [HL]

The Whitehall departments are still engaged with the devolved assemblies. We still have a Scotland Office, a Wales Office and a Northern Ireland Office. These are UK targets and the devolved Administrations are committed to following them. They may have to legislate for this in their own way and that which is reserved to Westminster will be covered in this Bill. We are not legislating for England only; this is the UK's contribution; but the devolved Administrations are fully on board and are actively participating in the discussions on the Bill.
