Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) 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]

Could I point my noble friend to the issue of national security? We have defence, foreign affairs and the Home Department all accountable, as I understand it, through the Prime Minister to Parliament. It is the Prime Minister who signs off reports from the Intelligence and Security Committee—it is not the Home Secretary or the Secretary of State for Defence.
