I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to set a target for the year 2050 for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; to provide for a system of carbon budgeting; to make other provisions about climate change; and to provide related matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
