Business of the House

On reflection, does the Leader of the House think that he was entirely fair to the Liberal Democrat spokesman when he accused him of carping? Surely the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath) was right to point out the complete lack of joined-up government on the important issue of climate change, with two Departments using different statistics and coming to different conclusions. May I encourage the Leader of the House to add to his modernising and innovating credentials by arranging for a joint statement to be made by those two Departments, with two Ministers at the Dispatch Box to answer our questions; otherwise, we shall not get any answers on this subject?
