Proceeding contribution from Lord Barker of Battle (Conservative) 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]

The hon. Gentleman's party's Government has shot our fox on sharing the proceeds of growth; it is very unlikely that there will be any growth for the foreseeable future. In the light of that, we have had to amend our policy. However, if the hon. Gentleman had paid attention to what the Leader of the Opposition has said, he would know that my right hon. Friend has clearly spelt out that we anticipate significant funding for carbon capture and storage from the auctioning of emissions trading scheme credits in 2012 and that we have also spelt out where the savings would come for the funding of feed-in tariffs. The hon. Gentleman would also know of our clear commitment on the expansion of Heathrow. On all those issues, his party's Government are vague and our party is absolutely clear.
