Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.


Copenhagen Climate Change Conference

The hon. Gentleman will know that developing countries have agreed that they should perform nationally appropriate mitigation actions. As part of that, they look to the developed world to provide funds to enable them to do that—as well as to intellectual property rights, which were mentioned earlier. Will the hon. Gentleman commit, as the Government have committed, to ensuring that only 10 per cent. of the official development assistance budget is used to facilitate the developing countries' nationally appropriate mitigating actions—and no more than that, as that would be seen by those countries as good faith, whereas anything more would be seen as bad faith?
