Proceeding contribution from Earl Cathcart (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]

That was all very interesting. Amendment No. 77, which would have replaced ““1%”” with ““0.5%””, was a probing amendment to see what the reasoning behind the figure was. That still needs some clarification when we receive the letter. I was interested to hear the Minister speak of the benefits of the ““banking and borrowing””. It was a useful debate. The Minister’s response regarding the committee in relation to Amendment No. 78 was not surprising. I beg leave to withdraw Amendment No. 77. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 78 not moved.] Clause 13 agreed to. Clause 14 [Final statement for budgetary period]: [Amendments Nos. 79 to 81 not moved.]
