The suggestion of the noble Lord, Lord Teverson, is certainly interesting. It would help the Committee if the Minister provided a little more explanation. Will he explain why it takes two years to make the report? Is it by any chance tied in with the intervals that are fixed under European Emissions Trading Scheme, or are we trying to comply with an international norm? Could the delay be solved by the committee taking a more active role or even being expanded? Are all budgets and statements likely to be subject to a two-year delay? If not, why are some easier to report than others?
