Proceeding contribution from Glyn Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Durban Climate Change Conference.

Durban Climate Change Conference

For a UN treaty on climate change to be meaningful and successful, all the major emitters in the world must be part of it, so it was encouraging to hear that the United States, China, India and Brazil are part of this agreement. How satisfied is the Secretary of State that the treaty obligations are legally binding, that those nations are not just paying lip service and that they will deliver on the commitments we are expecting?
