Climate Change Bill [HL]

In responding to the issue of the size of the climate change committee, will the Minister indicate whether he sees measures of adaptation as part of the committee’s remit? If so, the size of the committee as currently proposed is almost certainly inadequate. I would suggest that the adaptation issues are of a different order, requiring different skills and different expertise, and that they are dealt with elsewhere, but it would help the Committee considerably to know whether the Minister thinks that that falls within the committee’s remit.
