Clause 1 - Purposes
Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill
3:15 pm
Helen Goodman (Bishop Auckland, Labour)
Will the hon. Gentleman explain why he has included in the new clause the phrase:
“introduced by him in the previous five years”?
Presumably, the hon. Gentleman is hoping that his hon. Friend the hon. Member for Tatton (Mr. Osborne) will be Chancellor of the Exchequer, but under the new clause, he would be reporting on the current Chancellor’s actions, not his own. The new clause makes sense only as long as we have a continuation of a Labour Government, which of course I hope and believe we will.
