Proceeding contribution from Viscount Montgomery of Alamein (Crossbench) 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]

The noble Earl, Lord Caithness, talks about the inconvenience for the north of Scotland. Of course he is quite right, but the point is that the percentage of the population who live in the very north of Scotland is very small compared with the percentage of the total population. Others have spoken about the greater good for the larger number of people and we have to look at the percentage of the population that will benefit from such a measure.
