Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 January 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].
Climate Change Bill [HL]
I do not know, but we are talking about carbon emission trading schemes. The whole point is that there is going to be trading between different suppliers and manufacturers, some of which will not necessarily all be in this country. That is how one would take account of trade between countries. The key issue is that in, let us say, the production of a component that is imported, its carbon footprint must only be counted once in a scheme. Double counting would not make sense. It has to be separated out. As I said, the point of original production is the place to do that.
