Summary
Climate Change Act 2008 (2050 Target Amendment) Order 2019 Lord Henley moved that the draft Order laid before the House on 12 June 2019 be approved. Then Lord Grantchester moved, as an amendment to the motion, at the end insert “and that this House supports the objective of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and acknowledges the substantial implications of this Order for the United Kingdom; but regrets that Her Majesty’s Government have (1) given little detail of how the emissions target will be met; (2) made a substantial change in policy without the full and proper scrutiny that such a change deserves; and (3) not introduced regulations under section 30 of the Climate Change Act 2008 to include greenhouse gases from (a) international aviation, or (b) international shipping, as part of the emissions target." After debate, the amendment was agreed to (see division). Then the original motion, as amended, was agreed to.
