Climate Change Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 February 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Climate Change Bill [HL].
I was fascinated by the explanation that the Government are going for a unanimity rule here. I wonder whether they might like to introduce qualified majority voting. They could go, for instance, for 55 per cent of UK nations and 65 per cent of the total population. The fact that we have a veto for one of the nations is quite interesting.
