May I add my congratulations to the Secretary of State on her skill and leadership in negotiating in Montreal and on the very successful outcome? My hon. Friend the Minister heard today of the 50 dirty coal power stations being built in China per annum. Does he agree that one EU demonstration plant for clean coal technology is insufficient in the light of those emissions? Does he have any plans for bilateral technology exchange with China and will he look to the Export Credits Guarantee Department to see what help can be given to UK industry, which is now a leader in this field?
