Proceeding contribution from Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Climate Change Bill [HL].

Climate Change Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for that response, which I think was fairly positive. I know that we have had this debate about final targets and meeting each individual one, but, as I said, Clause 1 makes absolutely clear what we are talking about. What we on these Benches are looking for at a strategic level is a duty and a responsibility—which is in this general section of the Bill—on the Climate Change Committee to assess policy in relation to outcome and targets. I understand and welcome what the Minister said and I think that this is a move in the right direction.
