Climate Change Bill [HL]

My Lords, our amendments in this group are designed to give the committee slightly more time—an extra two months—to prepare its annual report. Given the extra burden that we are placing on it, if we are asking for a more thorough report, it is only reasonable to allow more time for it to be completed. However, having heard the Minister say that he does not think that extra time is needed and that the Government are confident that the report will be done on time, we will not move our amendments. On Question, amendment agreed to. [Amendment No. 167 not moved.]
