Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (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 do not have the figures in great detail in front of me, but it has to be funded because this is new, and from new legislation that has been agreed by Government. I am not saying that none of this will come from the present Defra budget; in that case, it would already be there. It will not have to come from what our running costs were before the climate change committee was, so to speak, a beam in someone’s eye. Money is being spent now on the shadow secretariat—it has come from somewhere but has been allocated for that purpose.
