Climate Change Policy

Paul Blomfield Excerpts

Tuesday 23rd April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Paul Blomfield (Sheffield Central) (Lab)]

The Minister is right to talk about the need for more action at an international level, but can she explain how she intends to use the bid for COP26 to achieve that, and, specifically, will she spell out the more ambitious targets that she thinks the world should embrace?

[Claire Perry]

Let us try to win the bid first. Other countries are bidding, and I want to ensure that if we do win it, we are able to offer appropriate leadership. Perhaps we can have that conversation in a few months’ time.
