Proceeding contribution from Baroness Byford (Conservative) 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]

I have followed the debate very carefully and I was not intending to speak. However, unless I misunderstood him, the Minister has indicated in his response that the Government are not prepared to put stronger compliance mechanisms into the Bill because of the threat of judicial review. Are the Government no longer taking responsibility for driving the Bill forward as the noble Lord, Lord Rooker, indicated earlier that they wished to do?
