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

Climate Change Policy

A letter has been signed by me and by Councillor Tudor Evans, the leader of Plymouth City Council, and co-signed by 65 young people aged from three to 17 who attended the climate strike outside the council’s offices. If they were listening to the debate, they would have heard nothing from the Minister about agreeing to declare a climate emergency. Those young people would want me to ask the Minister please to declare a climate emergency and work across parties, so let me ask the Government, on their behalf, to demonstrate that they are listening to them.
