Climate Change Bill [HL]

I briefly intervene only to follow up on a statement which I think my noble friend made at Second Reading when, on behalf of UNISON, which has taken a particular interest in the Bill, I suggested that there may be a role for trade unions in sub-committee work for the main committee. UNISON had in mind the provision in paragraph 1(3)(b) of Schedule 1, which refers to, "““climate change policy, and in particular the social impacts of such policy””." They clearly would have to be evaluated. Can my noble friend further clarify to what extent trade unions might have a role if they were to be represented on a sub-committee with responsibilities under one of the headings dealing with social impacts? Of course, union members would be affected in a major way.
