Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Climate Change Act 2008 (2020 Target, Credit Limit and Definitions) Order 2009.
Climate Change Act 2008 (2020 Target, Credit Limit and Definitions) Order 2009
My Lords, I do not want to go back over what I said about the benefits of a low-carbon economy. I agree with my noble friend that one cannot lightly dismiss that scale of reduction in GDP. However, I think that the substantive point that the noble Lord, Lord Stern, made is that, if we do not take action now, the cost could be very much greater later.
