Climate Change Bill [Lords]

I must inform the House that a message has been brought from the Lords as follows. The Lords agree without amendment to certain of the amendments made by the Commons to the Climate Change Bill; they agree to a Commons amendment with an amendment to which they desire the agreement of the Commons; they agree to a Commons amendment with amendments in lieu of the words so left out of the Bill, to which they desire the agreement of the Commons; and they disagree to certain other amendments made by the Commons but propose amendments in lieu thereof to which they desire the agreement of the Commons. Copies of the Lords amendments are available in the Vote Office. I must draw the attention of the House to the fact that Lords amendment No. 48A involves privilege. If the House agrees to that amendment, I shall ensure that the appropriate entry is made in the Journal. The Government proposals are being debated in four groups.
