Climate Change Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am grateful for the Minister’s comments, which were extremely helpful, particularly towards the end. This goes back to the basic worry that the scrutiny of this legislation, which could be rolled out across the country, is being done on the basis of five pilots. There is a fundamental problem in that we are looking at how the pilots could work when, in practice, if one or two of the pilots are successful, the Government will be given considerable powers—subject to parliamentary consent, I agree—to amend the schemes and roll them out in a way that ideally should be done during consideration of primary legislation. Having said that, I am grateful for what the Minister has said, and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
