Greater London Authority Bill

I apologise for arriving a few minutes late. The noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, referred to the difference between adaptation and achieving. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Graham, that the measure needs to be as flexible as possible. I should have thought there is a very great difference between adopting policies and trying to achieve them and actually setting out physically to achieve them. I welcome the measure. We are keen to ensure that we do everything we can to enable the Bill to tackle climate change and for it to have clearly defined strategies. However, I am not clear from the wording whether the Bill aims to achieve set goals or to adopt strategies and hope that they will achieve things at the end of the day. I seek clarification on that.
