Proceeding contribution from Norman Baker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Heathrow.

Heathrow

The right hon. Gentleman has a strong record on this subject. I invite him to make a link between his first point about the economy and his current point about climate change. The Government’s costing of the damage done by a tonne of carbon is estimated at £19, but the Stern review made it clear that £53 would be a more appropriate figure. If that figure is used for carbon damage, does it not entirely wipe out any supposed theoretical economic gain from aviation in any case?
