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]

For the convenience of the Committee and being conscious of the time, I revert back to our previous debate on Amendment No. 164A. There was a point I did not answer and I will use this extra time for clarification. If the devolved Administrations want to use and invent a trading scheme for their purposes, they can do so now without the powers in this Bill. The fact is, we would rather they used the powers in this Bill. Then, if they did that, the other parts of the UK could join with them. Without the powers in this Bill, that would not be allowed to happen. That is the point I did not make when we were having the previous debate.
