This Bill would abolish the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and transfer its functions to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). In effect, energy and climate policy would move from DECC to BIS as part of a government reorganisation. It reflects a reshuffle of responsibilities within Whitehall rather than new policy directions being created.
The Bill is at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons. The first reading occurred on 29 June 2015. No further stages are detailed in the provided information.
