Tim Loughton Excerpts

Tuesday 18th June 2019 Commons Chamber

[Tim Loughton (East Worthing and Shoreham) (Con)]

I, too, wish to acknowledge the climate emergency declared by the House. I also wish to convey the sentiments shared by the good people of East Worthing and Shoreham, 123 of whom have presented this petition. It

Declares that climate change is a serious and pressing concern and needs urgent attention from the Governments of the world.

It further declares that the UK has a leading role to play in tackling climate change in the future.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to ensure that London hosts the upcoming COP 26 Climate Change Conference in 2020.

I think that some good news may be heading their way very shortly.

Following is the full text of the petition:
