Clause 9 - Duty not to exceed allowances
Waste and Emissions Trading Bill [Lords]
11:00 am
Mr Michael Meacher (Minister of State (the Environment), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Oldham West and Royton, Labour)
I appreciate the hon. Gentleman's solicitude in trying to stiffen my resolve in further discussions. As I said, we are looking at a number of options for achieving what we want; but hypothecation would not necessarily require an amendment to the Bill. For that reason, I am reluctant to accept any amendment.
