Proceeding contribution from Earl of Caithness (Conservative) 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 support my noble friend, who has said what I was going to say on my Amendment No. 64A, which is grouped with this amendment. The wording that I have used is similar to that quoted by my noble friend and would have almost the same effect. I based mine on Section 2(5) of the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act 2000, so I will not repeat what he said. It seems ludicrous that, having presented a report under Clause 11, the Secretary of State has no duty to implement it.
