Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitehead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 October 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Climate Change.

Would he include in his analysis what is happening to European emissions trading and will he be active in ensuring that the emissions trading system 2008-12 really works?
