  Planning Bill - Consideration of climate change - rejected
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority of MPs voted against requiring the Secretary of State to be satisfied that his "national policy statement"[1] contains policies that (taken as a whole) contributes to the mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change.
  
  This would have been done by inserting a new clause[2][3] into the Planning Bill.
