Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 November 2009. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Energy and Climate Change and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Energy and Climate Change and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Secretary of State has repeated that shipping, like aviation, is hugely important if we are to get the right climate in future. Why, then, does the parliamentary answer that I have just received say that of the 38 people his Department is sending to Copenhagen at least 19 are flying there, given that perfectly adequate, and probably cheaper, rail journeys are available?
