Proceeding contribution from Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 4 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].


Climate Change Bill [HL]

My Lords, we on these Benches generally welcome what we think is a useful set of amendments to clarify and increase the co-operation with the other national authorities. This should not be too much of a difficulty for the commercial sector. Within the EU ETS, everything is plant-based—that is ““plant”” in terms of ““site””, rather than of vegetation—not company-based, so about half of emissions are already there within the reporting systems. If that were the case in every other area as well, it would be possible to divide out carbon emissions in terms of energy consumption by area. The difficulty of that might be transport.
