Surely my hon. Friend would agree that we need a mechanism in the Bill for the Government to accept the recommendation of the Climate Change Committee and to enact it. That is why the power is there. Without that, the Government could say, “Of course we will”, but they would have no mechanism for doing that. There ought to be no argument over that.
