Proceeding contribution from Lord Woolmer of Leeds (Labour) 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 rise only briefly to remark on the reasons given by the noble Lord, Lord Taylor, for resisting the amendment—that it would be unpopular and that is has been tried before and was rejected. If that is the attitude of the Conservative Front Bench in Opposition, heaven help us if they are in government. Many measures dealing with climate change are going to be unpopular. That seems the least convincing explanation. For all the robustness he has asked of the climate change committee, he has fallen at the first hurdle.
