Proceeding contribution from Adrian Bailey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon).


Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon)

Does my right hon. Friend agree that one of the most compelling global issues that we face is climate change and the role of emissions trading? Europe is vital in dealing with that issue. Does he agree that a debate on the treaty would be a diversion from the real work that we should be doing with Europe and that, by calling into question this Government's commitment to Europe, it would undermine our ability to shape that debate?
