Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Department of Energy and Climate Change.


Department of Energy and Climate Change

I very much welcome the commitment to the 80 per cent. target. It is an ambitious target, as my right hon. Friend will agree, that will require co-operation from all levels of government. Will he therefore have a word with the Secretary of State for Transport to try to persuade him to support an amendment that I have tabled to the Local Transport Bill that would require all local authorities to have regard to issues of climate change when formulating their transport policies?
