- Energy: Carbon Capture and Storage — Question (28 Jul 2010)
“My Lords, does the Minister appreciate that trees are nature's way of capturing carbon? Is he aware that a 4 per cent increase in tree planting in the UK would allow us to capture 10 per cent of our total greenhouse emissions? What plans do the Government have to increase tree planting? I declare an interest as former chair of the Forestry Commission.”

“My Lords, the Question refers to holiday lettings.
