Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Chesterton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on Pre-Budget Report 2006.


Pre-Budget Report 2006

My Lords, the noble Lord implied that this country should make no attempt to be concerned with climate change. Last week Defra produced diagrams to indicate that, in 2100 or beyond, whole parts of Essex may not exist because of a rise in the sea level. I know that there are many Conservative seats in that area, but that would be an extreme version of political strategy. It is a very serious matter for this country.
