Proceeding contribution from Lord Lilley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [Lords].
Climate Change Bill [Lords]
Of course I take your remarks to heart, Mr. Deputy Speaker. We have to remember the normal laws of declining marginal benefit and increasing marginal cost. If we tighten the Bill by adding more rigorous burdens regarding aviation and shipping, we must expect the costs to be higher than the costs of meeting the 60 per cent. target, let alone the 80 per cent. target, and we must expect the benefits to be less than the marginal benefits that were to be accrued.
