Lords division · 11 Mar 2008 · No. 2

Climate Change Bill [HL]

Lord Teverson moved amendment 131, in Schedule 1, page 40, line 16, at end to insert: "The Climate Change Adaptation Sub-Committee. 15A (1) The Committee must establish a sub-committee to be known as the Climate Change Adaptation Sub-Committee (referred to in this Part as "the Adaptation Sub-Committee"). (2) The Adaptation Sub-Committee shall be chaired by a member of the Climate Change Committee and shall otherwise consist of persons who are not members of the Committee. (3) In appointing a member of the Adaptation Sub-Committee, the Secretary of State must have regard to the desirability of securing that the Adaptation Sub-Committee (taken as a whole) has expert experience in or knowledge of the following— (a) climate change science and other branches of environmental science; (b) contingency planning; (c) ecology and biodiversity; (d) economics; (e) flood risk; (f) infrastructure asset management; (g) public health; (h) risk management; (i) international development; and (j) any other significant adaptations required to address the risks identified in the most recent report under section 48."

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Not Content).
