Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].


Climate Change Bill [HL]

My Lords, I can only add from this Dispatch Box my confusion as to why the number of pilots has been capped and capped at only five. Given the enormous scope of this Bill, we are looking at issues that some people have said will require cutbacks similar to those in Britain during the Second World War. Why is the entire waste section limited to five schemes? Does the Minister think that five schemes are sufficient to test adequately all available alternatives?
