Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 December 2008. It occurred during Debate on European Affairs.

European Affairs

I am listening with interest to what the right hon. Lady says about how we fund the mitigation activities that are needed if we are to tackle climate change. Given that the Stern report pointed out that 1 per cent. of gross domestic product ought to be spent on such activities, surely it makes sense to use some of the auction revenue to fund those necessary activities. Otherwise, the money will have to come from somewhere else. Auction revenues may be one of the most painless places to get the money from.
