Climate Change Bill [HL]

I hope not in the way implied in the noble Earl’s question. I see where he is coming from. The electricity consumption and the carbon footprint of the motor manufacturer’s plant, and the items that have gone into the plant, will be collected. I hope it would not be at the fine-detail level. It would be the original component supplier, for example. There would be another factory producing the components. To that extent, you would not be separating the several hundreds of components in a vehicle because you would go for the omissions at the most suitable and most cost-effective point of the supply chain. This is not a question of having lots of burdens on business, collecting figures that are of no use to anybody.
