Proceeding contribution from Lord Barker of Battle (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 October 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Climate Change (Political Response).


Climate Change (Political Response)

I thoroughly agree with the right hon. Member for Gordon (Malcolm Bruce). The trouble with this Government is that they are stuck in a rut. Their default mechanism is, "Don’t support an Opposition motion." It just goes against the tribal instinct. However, I am sure that the Minister’s common sense argues in the other direction, and that she did her bit to try to support the motion, but unfortunately was not successful.
