Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

The Chancellor rightly emphasised the need for fiscal measures to tackle the causes of climate change. Does he also accept that measures are needed to tackle the consequences of climate change? As a Scottish Member, he will know that the Scottish ski industry has been one of the first industries in this country to feel directly the consequences of climate change. Would he or one of his ministerial colleagues be willing to meet representatives of the Scottish ski industry to determine whether fiscal measures could be brought forward to help to alleviate the impact of climate change on that important sector of the rural economy?
