Proceeding contribution from Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 December 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].
Climate Change Bill [HL]
A number of noble Lords have known what it is like to be blamed for government decisions. They have found themselves on the Back Benches, although I am very pleased to see that one of them has returned to Front-Bench duties recently. I believe that we are correct in making the Prime Minister responsible. It puts him or her centre-stage as regards responsibilities in this matter. I hope that the Minister will give a positive response, so that we are not forced to move an amendment on Report.
