Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 January 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].
Climate Change Bill [HL]
I am sorry to intervene—it is a habit from the other place—because the noble Lord is moving his amendment. However, he starts off from a basis that is completely wrong. The Climate Change Bill sets up a public body which will therefore be under a statutory duty, under Section 40 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, to consider the purposes of conserving biodiversity. Therefore, that aspect is covered but does not show up in this Bill because it relates to other legislation. A requirement is there so I would hate the debate to start by saying that we had forgotten biodiversity. That is my point.
