Climate Change

Proceeding contribution from Elliot Morley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 May 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Climate Change.
I agree with the hon. Gentleman about urgency, but that is the weakness in his argument. While the programme that he is outlining on technology is all very worthy—that certainly has a role to play—applying it to new vehicles will be an incredibly slow process, and biofuels can have only a limited impact. It is a mistake to rely solely on technology, because we need a range of tools, including road pricing, whereby people could be encouraged to move on to public transport. Why has his party turned its face against that?
