Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [HL].

Climate Change Bill [HL]

My Lords, it is interesting to note that the Minister has indeed come back with the same arguments he made at the earlier stage. I think it is quite likely that the Government could decide that they will bring in a scheme of this nature, but it is very much a government decision in the first instance. I am seeking to ensure that the possibility exists in the Bill. However, in the light of what the Minister said, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 12 to 14 not moved.] An amendment (privilege) made.
