  Climate Change  Bill - Third Reading (and other amendments)
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  The overwhelming majority of MPs voted to give the [http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2007-08/climatechangehl.html Climate Change Bill] its Third Reading, which sends it back to the House of Lords for further deliberation.
  
  Owing to the lack of time, a final raft of amendments were passed without a vote and with little discussion.  In particular, these included Amendment 72[1] that allowed for aviation and shipping to considered when advising the carbon emissions budget,[2] and Amendment 3 which would abolish the official avenue for an excuse for not including aviation by deleting the second provision in the following clause
  
  **The Secretary of State must, before the end of the period of five years beginning with the passing of this Act --
  * make provision by regulations as to the circumstances in which, and the extent to which, emissions from international aviation or international shipping are to be regarded for the purposes of this Part as emissions from sources in the United Kingdom, ''or''
  * ''lay before Parliament a report explaining why regulations making such provision have not been made.''[3]
  
  (This needs verification as it does not appear in the [http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2008-10-28a.830.0 Clause 29] section in Hansard.)
  
  Also, the target for cuts was revised from 60% to 80%,[4] which was an issue that had been lost in the House of Lords earlier in the process.[5]
