Lord Teverson Excerpts
Baroness Verma
My Lords, we have been consistent on this side of the House that we need to address mitigation and adaptation.
Lord Teverson (LD)
My Lords, the Minister has mentioned mitigation several times. So far as mitigation and the United Kingdom are concerned, is it not true that one of the most important things—and one of the most important pieces of legislation undertaken in recent years—is this Government’s Energy Act, which the Minister guided and pushed through this House? Is that not an example of how the Government have made sure that mitigation and the future problems of flooding and climate change are being tackled directly by the Government?
Baroness Verma
I am extremely grateful for my noble friend’s intervention and I agree with every word that he has said.
