Climate Change Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 183ZF: 183ZF: Clause 54, page 23, line 40, leave out ““one or more”” and insert ““the”” The noble Lord said: Some of the issues covered by this group have already been discussed, and I do not want to go into them again. However, the amendment that I specifically want to speak to is Amendment No. 183ZH, which concerns the powers to make new subordinate legislation under roll-outs. It seems that the Secretary of State will have remarkable powers not only to change the Bill in setting up the roll-out schemes and to amend the Bill in all sorts of ways but to make subordinate legislation. I am not clear that the subordinate legislation in subsection (3) on page 24 of the Bill is covered by the affirmative resolution procedure, as the rest of it is. I therefore tabled this amendment to ask whether it should be and, if it is not, to ask why not. I am moving Amendment No. 183ZF in order that I may ask that question under Amendment No. 183ZH. I beg to move.
