Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2008.


Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2008

My Lords, just to show the depth of my misunderstanding, as far as I can see, if the order is concerned with factory emissions, trying to clean up factory emissions and prevent emissions of certain substances actually decreases the energy efficiency. Does this measure allow the Scottish Executive to say, ““We’ll accept a certain decrease of efficiency so that we can say that we have improved pollution””?
