There is a Government proposal to underpin national climate policy. The climate action and low carbon development Bill is promised. What is the progress to date in bringing the Bill before the House?

I understand a regulator has been appointed as per the terms of the Charities Act 2009. Are all aspects of the legislation likely to become operational in the near future?
