Climate Change Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee at 11:00 pm on 8 July 2008.
I beg to move amendment No. 30, in clause 93, page 43, line 32, leave out subsection (2).
The amendment will delete in the usual way the privilege amendment that was inserted into the Bill in the other place. It is the privilege of this House to control charges on public funds. When a Bill is introduced in the other place, a privilege amendment is, by convention, moved before the Bill is brought to the House, so as to avoid infringing that privilege.
