The Committee considered this matter.
Draft Report (Personal Carbon Trading), proposed by the
Chairman, brought up and read.
Motion made, and Question proposed, That the draft
Report be read a second time, paragraph by paragraph.—(The
Chairman.)
Amendment proposed to leave out from 'That' to the
end of the Question, and add 'this Committee declines to read
the draft report a second time because it unfairly criticises
the concept of green taxation and does not adequately address
the problems that would be faced by those who already struggle
to manage the competing demands of low incomes and high living
costs and limited options for changing their lifestyles and circumstances',
instead thereof.—(Martin Horwood.)
Question put, That the Amendment be made.
The Committee divided.
