Schedule 5
Climate Change Bill [Lords]

I am concerned about what my hon. Friend says in response to the amendments in view of press reports that I read last week. I know that we should not believe everything that we read in the press—that point was raised just now—but I remember reading that the shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government was intending to report local authorities for collaborating on some of these pilot schemes. I am a little unsure about the comments coming from the Opposition with regard to the Department for Communities and Local Government. I wonder if there is a difference between the two shadow Front-Bench spokesmen on that matter.
