Climate Finance: Tackling Loss and Damage — [Mr Clive Betts in the Chair] ( 5 Sep 2023)

Patrick Grady: ..., but again we seem to be going backwards on a lot of that, and the changing climate seems to be a driver. That has to factor into the discussions. The work begun at the most recent COPs, including COP26 in Glasgow and the commitments made last year in Sharm el-Sheikh, must be followed through, and a new governing instrument must be agreed at COP28 this year. The hon. Member for Rotherham...

I have previously talked a lot about our...

Jane Hutt: ...role of women in terms of fair trade; the coffee growers like Jenipher, Jenipher's Coffi, a really practical demonstration of fair trade in action—I have to say, Jenipher herself spoke at COP26; I expect the Minister for Climate Change will have been there when she did, and others here today—helping farmers, working in harmony with nature, but, as a women-led farmer, leading the way...

Public Bill Committee: Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill: Clause 165 - Appropriate court (29 Jun 2023)

Seema Malhotra: ...it is going to become increasingly important to how the marketplace is defined. It is important to know and be ahead of where consumers might be being misled.

It seeks to ensure that the burden of proof is on the trader, as opposed to on the enforcer,...

Public Bill Committee: Energy Bill [Lords]: Clause 270 - Prohibition of new coal mines (22 Jun 2023)

Asylum Seeker Accommodation Off Wirral Peninsula (25 May 2023)

Robert Jenrick: ...used by British workers, such as those working on large construction sites, or oil and gas projects. Indeed, some are ferries that have been used for police and other staff at the Olympics or at COP26 in Glasgow. It would therefore be wrong to characterise them as inhumane or indecent.

Energy Security and Net Zero: Oil and Gas Exploration: Subsidies (23 May 2023)

Jeff Smith: Really? At COP26 the UK signed up to a pledge to eliminate inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, but now the windfall tax has a super deduction loophole worth £11 billion to oil and gas companies—a benefit enjoyed by no other industry.
