To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions the G8 had about the effect of the prediction of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) that global demand for OPEC oil will increase from 45.5 million barrels a day in 2010 to 106 million barrels a day in 2030 on the G8's decision to reduce global carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Deputy Leader of the House of Lords, House of Lords; Labour)
The G8 has this year discussed a range of energy issues, but had no discussion relating to any particular forecasts of demand for oil.
