Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I very much agree with what the Secretary of State has said, but even if we get an agreement at Copenhagen there is still the problem of having to explain to people what the figures actually mean. If we are talking about 80 per cent. reductions, that will mean massive changes in our economy. I am not convinced that the people of this country really understand what it means as yet.
