Climate Change Bill [HL]

My Lords, the point I made was that the decisions have to be for the Government and accountable to Parliament. We do not want the decision to be made by the climate change committee—we want its advice. The decision will then be made by the Government subject to parliamentary scrutiny. That is the answer to my noble friend. I cannot say that every policy implementing the myriad decisions that will flow will be in primary legislation; statutory instruments may be needed to implement decisions on climate change. This Bill is the main legislation and everything will flow from it, but the decisions have to be taken in a democratic way so that the Government are accountable to Parliament. But perhaps I have misunderstood my noble friend.
