Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, which Ministers in his Department attended the most recent Bonn Climate Change Conference.

The UK is represented at senior official levels at the current Bonn Climate Change Intersessional conference. It is a mid-year meeting paving the way for the Lima Conference of the Parties (COP) in December and ministers do not usually attend the Bonn meetings. I am fully behind reaching a global deal in Paris, am talking to many parties both formally and informally and will attend further international engagements later this year.
