Proceeding contribution from Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 March 2008. It occurred during Budget debate on AMENDMENT OF THE LAW.


AMENDMENT OF THE LAW

I have been following the hon. Gentleman’s argument with great care and I agree with much of it. Is he aware that the blanket bog of Caithness and Sutherland represents one of the most important carbon sinks in the world? Will he assure me that any scheme of which he is thinking would not prejudice against our domestic banks of carbon and would not merely be for overseas?
