Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) 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, why do you want to know? It is five. Why do you want to know where that number came from? I have nothing else to say. The full intellectual might of the Cabinet—of the Government—has arrived at a decision of five. If the House of Commons, where the elected people’s representatives are, want another figure, it can change it: but the number is five.
