Climate Change Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for his response, but to be honest I do not buy it, because multinational corporations have to produce worldwide figures in huge detail under different jurisdictions in a much shorter timescale. I do not see how this is a problem. I thought that the Minister might say that it was impossible due to various other international timetables, but he did not say that—so that is fine. I shall bring the amendment back at another time, because it is very important for the credibility of the whole process and for the Government’s credibility in what they are trying to achieve that the figures that come out are relevant to the particular period. That is not a party-political point in any way. At this time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 76 not moved.] Clause 12 agreed to.
