Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 January 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Heathrow (Third Runway).


Heathrow (Third Runway)

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the debate would be more instructive if the Secretary of State had met the issue that most of his colleagues are concerned about, which is the fundamental climate change issue, rather than trying to make odd points against both Opposition parties, which have a principled reason—I could not possibly have a constituency reason—for saying, ““If you really care about climate change, you cannot have this extension and expect Ministers to go to Copenhagen with any credibility””?
