moved Amendment No. 10:
10: Before Clause 2, insert the following new Clause—
““Review by the Committee on Climate Change of the percentage specified in section 1(1)
The Prime Minister must—
(a) as soon as possible after the passing of this Bill, consult the Committee on Climate Change as to whether the percentage specified in section 1(1) should be increased as a consequence of developments in scientific knowledge since June 2000 (the date of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution’s 22nd Report, ““Energy—the Changing Climate””), and
(b) lay before Parliament the recommendations of the Committee on Climate Change, together with a statement of the Government’s response.””
The noble Earl said: On behalf of my noble friend Lord Crickhowell, I wish to move Amendment No. 10. In view of what the Minister said on Amendment No. 7 regarding the Prime Minister’s commitment, I hope that he will be able to accept this very straightforward amendment. I beg to move.
