Climate Change Bill [HL]

We understand that the amendment would change the wording of what is to be required in the final statement for budgetary periods. Where the Bill states that the report must state the final amount of, "““UK emissions, UK removals and net UK emissions of that gas””," the noble Baroness, Lady Miller, would change it to state, "““domestic UK emissions, UK domestic removals, and UK financed international and net UK emissions””." The goal is unclear. Will there be a way of determining in the report precisely where foreign credits are coming from? Surely that could be a matter for private companies to decide. If one of the arguments for trading internationally is to help subsidise green energy in underdeveloped countries, is there any way of knowing whether that is happening? Will the Minister explain his idea of precisely what the report would outline and in what detail?
