Department of Energy and Climate Change (Abolition) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would close down the Department of Energy and Climate Change as its own department and transfer its work (like climate change policy and energy decisions) to other government departments. It's about reorganising how government handles these important issues rather than changing what those issues are.

Presented by Mr Peter Bone.
