Climate Change Bill [HL]

Surely there is an even stronger reason for the time limit to be included, which will be contained in the next group of amendments to be moved by my noble friend. The budgets will be without much meaning unless there is a strategy as to how they are to be produced. It cannot therefore just be left to the parliamentary question or the possibility of debate. If we are going to have budgets, we must have a strategy, and it must be reported on and presented to Parliament very quickly.
