Treaty of Lisbon (No. 2)

Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 January 2008. It occurred during Debates on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 2).
The Secretary of State is right to say that the UK generates only 2 per cent. of global carbon emissions, but does he accept that we have a duty to set an example to the international community when it comes to tackling the problem and setting up solutions to it? Can he guarantee that the treaty will not interfere in any way with the UK's drive to introduce new and greener sources of energy generation, such as nuclear? Will he give a cast-iron guarantee that the treaty will not result in any increase in our constituents' energy costs?
