Proceeding contribution from Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat) 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]

This seems to be a very good way of ensuring that these reports are debated within Parliament. We are supportive of this group of amendments—although expect that votes might go the wrong way, recalling the reminder to us all from the noble Lord, Lord Campbell-Savours, about the strength of government Whips and Parliament’s procedures to make sure that the Government get their way. This effectively makes sure that these reports presumably are debated on the Floor of both Houses. We believe that is essential and good for the Bill.
