Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 April 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Climate Change Policy.

Climate Change Policy

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker.

Earlier, the Minister spoke of the need to consider our international impacts: 97% of UK Export Finance support to energy in developing countries goes to fossil fuels, which is a subsidy to dirty, polluting energy worth nearly £5 billion. Will she look at that? We need even greater ambition and action if we are to inspire others in our bid to host next year’s UN climate change conference here in the UK, and my party will whole- heartedly give the Government its support to achieve that bid.
