The Minister will be familiar with the conclusions of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee. It positively recommended that the provision to allow for international credits should be strictly limited to a quantifiable amount, to be advised by the Committee on Climate Change for each budgetary period. What is absent from the new clause is the recognition that although we want to contribute, as my hon. Friend the Member for Ruislip-Northwood said, in the original budget for 2010 there was no mention of any part being allocated to international credits.
