Yet again, Parliament has decided that it will take evidence from the bigwigs at the Committee on Climate Change. On Wednesday, just after appearing in front of the Science and Technology Committee, Lord Deben will give evidence to the Energy and Climate Change Committee on his work at the CCC, accompanied by his sidekick David Kennedy.
I have no idea what the committee is intending to achieve with this hearing. I'd like to see them exploring issues such as how Lord Deben manages to provide independent advice on renewables while occupying a management role within a company that will gain massively from expansion of renewables and also how he can provide independent advice on recycling (something the CCC offers up on a regular basis) while occupying the role of chairman in a recycling business.
I imagine they'll talk about less edgy matters though.
