Proceeding contribution from Lord Crickhowell (Conservative) 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 do not think that Clause 48 entirely meets the point that was made in this debate. That clause states: "““It is the duty of the Secretary of State to lay before Parliament from time to time a report containing an assessment of the risks for the United Kingdom of the current and predicted impact of climate change””." However, what we are looking for here is a report on progress made in dealing with the matter. Therefore, we are trying to take the matter slightly further forward than Clause 48 provides for.
