Climate Change Bill [HL]

I would genuinely have liked to have supported the noble Baroness, Lady Miller, on her amendment, particularly if it had been grouped with Amendments Nos. 25, 27 and 111. On its own, I find it impossible. If it had included ““principally”” or some other form of words, perhaps I could have supported it. However, I support the principle of what she said—that when we get to Amendments Nos. 25 and 27, that is the core of the credibility of the Bill. However, placed where it is, the amendment does not achieve its laudable aims.
