Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Climate Change.

Climate Change

My Lords, my noble friend is quite right to refer to aviation, which is mentioned in the Statement. The intention is to get it included inthe European emissions-trading arrangement. Yet aviation is international and the issue as he put it can be dealt with only on an international basis by the international aviation authorities. This report gives the lead. Clearly some action is required and it cannot be done solely by the UK or the European Union. It requires international action, and the aviation industry is now on notice.
