Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (11 Nov 2009)

Tony Lloyd: .... Perhaps I could begin by making the rather outlandish claim that mankind has probably come up with only two ways in which to destroy the capacity for human life on this planet: one is through climate change, which I hope will be dealt with in Copenhagen; and the other, of course, is weapons of mass destruction generally, and nuclear weapons specifically. The approach taken to nuclear...

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (11 Nov 2009)

Tony Lloyd: ...way, but some things have to be hammered out in the long, patient debate between now and the NPT review conference. We have to ensure that people can see that the theology of nuclear weapons has changed—that we devalue nuclear weapons as security systems—and make it clear that nuclear weapons play a different, lesser role in security for the long-term future of Britain and the...

Energy and Climate Change: Topical Questions (5 Nov 2009) has video

Tony Lloyd: Will the Government reject the siren appeals of the climate change deniers of the Opposition and those who challenge the Act on CO2 ads, and confirm that it will be their policy, as a responsible Government, to get across the message that individuals have to be responsible for turning back the days of climate change, and that only by shocking ads will we get that across to the British public?

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: G8 Summit (13 Jul 2009)

Tony Lloyd: The Prime Minister's role in pushing forward the climate change agenda is well understood.

Oral Answers to Questions — Health: European Council (23 Jun 2009)

Tony Lloyd: Given that the Prime Minister has outlined his view that European co-operation is fundamental, whether on building and maintaining jobs in this country, combating climate change or helping the developing world, can he tell me whether he really believes that retreating into Euroscepticism would be anything other than not only self-defeating self-indulgence, but massively damaging for Britain...

Friend's answer, and the Chancellor's reaffirmation yesterday that the Committee on Climate Change will consider increasing the target for greenhouse gas reduction from 60 per cent. to 80 per cent., but will my hon.

Tony Lloyd: ...mechanisms. We know, however, that those market mechanisms are under pressure, partly because of the growth in demand from countries such as India and China and the growth in demand for biofuels. Climate change could, of course, destroy the whole supply chain. In that context, is my right hon. Friend confident that we have the forward planning to provide sufficient agricultural land and...

Tony Lloyd: The private rented sector is quite problematic with regard to climate change and energy efficiency. Will my right hon.

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Climate Change (Food Security) (19 Jul 2007) has video

Tony Lloyd: I welcome my hon. Friend to the Front Bench. Corn prices have started to rise because land is being used for biofuels, although that might be a welcome development.

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Climate Change (10 Feb 2005)

Mr Tony Lloyd: My right hon. Friend once again deserves the thanks of the whole House for convening that important conference.

Orders of the Day — Employment Bill (27 Nov 2001)

I asked the Secretary of State whether, if the review of the Employment Relations Act 1999, undertaken by the Prime Minister demonstrated the need for legislative change, she could guarantee that we would see that legislation in the lifetime of this Parliament. Alas, my right hon. Friend forgot to respond to that question, so I hope that the Minister of...

Orders of the Day — Home Affairs and Inner Cities (12 Dec 2000)

I welcome the relevant provisions in the Queen's Speech, which begin to build on...

It is difficult to give absolutely accurate figures for investment, but we estimate that, between 1990 and 1996, British investment in Argentina was...
