Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 October 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Climate Change (Political Response).


Climate Change (Political Response)

That is absolutely correct. I had the privilege of being at the launch of the 10:10 campaign outside the old power station in my constituency that is now Tate Modern. This is a campaign in which ordinary people are saying that they want to do things in their communities. They are also now saying that they want Parliament and the Government to lead and to do the same. I would hazard a guess that, in the constituencies of all my friends—and, indeed, of every colleague in the House—there will be many individuals and organisations that will want us to be bold today, not timid, and to sign up to a campaign that many individuals have signed up to in recent weeks.
