Climate Change Bill [Lords]

Could not a deal be done between the Opposition and the Government on this issue? Could we agree if the Government gave real sense to what they mean by ““readiness for carbon capture”” so that it was clear that any new power station would have that technology when it became available and the money was in place? The fundamental problem is that the vagueness of the Government's position means that we have to stick to the argument that there should be no new generation without CCS. Can we press the Government to be more precise?
