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 am thinking aloud, in a way, because I see where the noble Lord is coming from and I want to help. One of the key issues is that the public, this House and the other place need to know that the work is going on. A report or a review might be too strong, but they are entitled to know that there is a work programme and what work is actively being done. It should be dead easy to keep track of the work programme. We need to be reassured that people have not gone to sleep for five years—I thought about this because the noble Lord said five years. If they know what the work programme is—this can be done on a real-time basis in some ways—they will be assured that people have not gone to sleep. We can certainly look at some way of building that into the requirements. That may not go as far as what is wanted, but I want to meet the spirit of what the amendments would require.
