Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change Bill [Lords].


Climate Change Bill [Lords]

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way to my standard question about oil. Last week the Prime Minister said that we needed an ever-increasing supply of oil, which confused me in the light of our objective of having a low-carbon economy, because burning oil creates carbon dioxide and water primarily. Will my hon. Friend share his views on whether we can satisfy the objectives of the Bill, with or without the inclusion of aviation and shipping, while having an ever-increasing supply of oil?
