Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Wicks (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 10 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill.


Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill

There is a great deal on our agenda, including our renewables strategy. As I am sure the hon. Gentleman knows, our target is that 10 per cent. of our electricity should come from renewable sources by the end of the decade, and our aspiration is to double the amount by 2020. The issue of light bulbs has been put to us; no doubt it will be debated in future and the pros and cons will be weighed, but tackling climate change is an ongoing saga.
