Proceeding contribution from Lord Redesdale (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].
Climate Change Bill [HL]
As I understand it, companies could deal with their emissions by buying in from other people. There is no obligation on them to reduce their carbon emissions. Therefore we would have a paper exercise in the British economy’s production of carbon by which, even if companies had met their obligations and produced less through buying in, they would be producing more carbon, though offsetting it by buying other people’s trading.
