Climate Change Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Dearing (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Climate Change Bill [HL].
My Lords, will the Minister clarify a point? I thought that he was saying that the committee would be able to give advice on any sector, but Amendments Nos. 54 and 144 are limited to sectors of the economy, which would exclude the household sector. Will the Minister clarify whether he intends that the committee should have the opportunity to look at households? That is of the essence, since they account for about a quarter, plus another 10 per cent through passenger transport. It is such an important area. It is in no way restricting the role of the committee to add it; it gives the opportunity to do more than the Government had intended. We and the economy need such an opportunity.
