Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 30 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 a little confused. It is normal to set out in primary legislation which orders and regulations are subject to the affirmative procedure, given that the great mass of them are subject to the negative procedure, but the clause seems to leave this open-ended. I think the Minister said that it would be open-ended but that they would do the right thing at the time. The clause seems to say that the orders setting up the roll-out will set up new subordinate legislation—sort of subordinate to the subordinate. I do not know whether that is normal procedure or how it works, but that is how I read it. I do not think that that is normal, but no doubt people will tell me if I am wrong. Given that the Minister was not quite sure what she was reading out, will the Ministers at least agree to look at it again?
