I thank Annie Wells for allowing us to put this on the record. She is right: the scheme has cross-party support, but the regulations certainly do not. Nobody knows what the world will look like in six months’ time or even next month, so it is beyond me why we are rushing the regulations now for something that is in two years’ time. Future regulations may be just as ambitious or even more so. We support the measures, but just not now. That is why we will abstain at decision time.
