Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8).

Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8)

I would have thought that as we are devoting a day to considering the Lisbon treaty as it relates to climate change, it would deserve a much bigger entry if it was felt to be important. We have already said that we do not think that it needs such an entry. Why are the Government spending this time on discussing six words? The EU has the powers. The point that we Conservatives will be making today is that it is action that counts. Our frustration and annoyance is caused by the lack of action and the Government's desire to play politics by using climate change as a cover.
