Proceeding contribution from Lord Tanlaw (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill.


Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill

My Lords, I must ask the Minister about Portugal. In a debate in another place, it appeared that Portugal had increased its carbon emissions by 92 per cent. Does he really think that we should follow that route? I cannot think why he keeps citing the example of Portugal, when it is the smallest energy producer in Europe. I do not know why children were kept awake at night in Portugal; surely they have curtains and shutters like everyone else.
