Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 October 2024

Debate

Independent Water Commission

Contribution

The noble Baroness is right that it specifically refers to the UK carbon budget framework and the Climate Change Act. We discussed this very briefly in the Water (Special Measures) Bill yesterday during the environment amendments. The biodiversity targets set within the Environment Act are certainly ways to deliver the changes that we need and I suggest that anything that is currently in law is something that the commission would be discussing.
