Proceeding contribution from Tracy Brabin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 May 2019. It occurred during Opposition day on Environment and Climate Change.


Environment and Climate Change

The right hon. Gentleman spoke earlier about leadership. Will he celebrate with me the Labour council of Kirklees, which, in January, had already declared a climate change emergency? Does he agree that, as we have so much consensus, we could declare an emergency today and all go back to our constituencies and start campaigning? We cannot be on the wrong side of history in this regard.
