Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (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
That is not what I said. The point I am making is about the economic case, and I also object on the grounds of proliferation. I cannot believe that we do not now realise the dangers arising from the facts that Pakistan has a nuclear power possibility, that Iran might also have one, and that many other smaller, unstable countries are likely to have nuclear power and, from that, access to nuclear bombs. How on earth can a reversal of policy come about this morning? This makes me feel that I should be sitting in a far corner of this House, rather than here on the Labour Benches.
