Business question from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 January 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

It would be particularly appropriate at this time to have a topical debate on the Met Office, which costs taxpayers about £200 million a year. Surely it is time to stop treating the serial inaccuracy of the Met Office's forecasts as just a joke. It has become a scandal; it looks as if it has been hijacked by the climate change lobby. May we have a topical debate very soon on the subject?
