Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.


Copenhagen Climate Change Conference

My hon. Friend is right. There is the protection that we need to give to higher carbon manufacturers, which is partly to do with the provisions under the new emissions trading scheme for free allowances, for example. With reference to the comments of the right hon. Member for Suffolk, Coastal (Mr. Gummer) and others in the House, there is also the assurance that we need to give to the low carbon manufacturers of the future that a clear signal has been sent by the world on low carbon, and we want to strengthen that signal. Both of those are important, and I absolutely undertake to do what my hon. Friend asks.
