Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.


Copenhagen Climate Change Conference

Because the Secretary of State hopes for a more ambitious outcome in Copenhagen, and because the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has suggested that the target that we need to meet may be even bigger, can he assure us that he and his colleagues have done the necessary contingency planning for the further reductions that we will need to make, sector by sector, so that, without internal barriers, we can go for, say, a 42 per cent. UK reduction at Copenhagen in December?
