Engagements

Question
As the guardian of the rights of Members of this House, will the Leader of the House support an initiative, which has the backing of Members on both sides of the House, for an independent body to report every year to Parliament on carbon emissions?
Answer

I have certainly seen the proposals in relation to carbon emissions and I have seen the way in which they could have an impact as far as the House authorities are concerned. It is something that I anticipate will be taken up when the House looks at these issues, and we take it very seriously, not only in relation to our responsibilities in Parliament, but obviously as part of our wider duty to the country.
