Climate Change Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for his response and the noble Lord, Lord Woolmer, for raising the question of aviation and how an aviation trading scheme might fit in, which in turn raises the question of how trading schemes might interrelate. The Committee is not seeking to damage the British economy; we want to provide a mechanism for the reduction of carbon emissions, which is, of course, the whole purpose of the Climate Change Bill. I am grateful to the Minister for confirming that he envisages that figures will be presented and not netted off so that it is clear and transparent how much has been offset. In the circumstances, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment by leave withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 167A to 168A not moved.]
