Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nadine Dorries and Stephen O'Brien

Wednesday 7th December 2011 Commons Chamber

Lady for drawing attention to that key aspect, but in focusing totally on results and achieving the genuinely transformational climate change effects that we want, this Government have absolutely stood by our promise to meet the requirements to fulfil the international climate fund— the responsibility is split between the Department for International Development, the Department of Energy and Climate Change, and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
