In the end, the changes going to be driven, notjust by the end, the changes going to be driven, not just by the feelings of end, the changes going to be driven, notjust by the feelings of people in the western democracies, but also by the clinical pressure on the pressure from business that is already being felt within china and russia as well.

I am afraid the right to decline during the pandemic. We got to accelerate and i think what my honourable friend said just now about planting a tree for the jubilee just now about planting a tree for thejubilee is absolutely right. Later on, we are talking about nuclear in this chamber, so that showing that the government is now looking forward to the future as we have two nuclear stations in heysham. But i would like tojudge the Prime Ministers attention is that we are doing wondrous works in morecambe and i know i invited him last week and im still pushing it, please come and see us in morecambe. I think him for his unrelenting invitation. Of course i will do my utmost to oblige my honourable friend who is a great campaigner for clean power and as he knows, we are taking forward plans as well. Transport makes up the largest share of uk Carbon Emissions but rail travel is clean and green so i ask again, why on earth is the Prime Minister choosing to make it cheaper to take domestic flights while failing to set out a proper plan for rail electrification, failing to confirm high speed line to the East Midlands and the north, and putting up midlands and the north, and putting up railfares . Midlands and the north, and putting up rail fares . Up rail fares . What we are doing is investin up rail fares . What we are doing is investing massively up rail fares .

Investing massively in the rails. She objects to Domestic Air Travel but the vision that she should support is the idea of moving away from using tonnes of kerosene to put planes into the air. You can do it with other approaches and that is what we should be focusing on. I welcome the Prime Ministers leadership around the world in getting their biggest polluters to reduce their Carbon Footprint. My constituents are keen to move forward and your transition to a d carbon lifestyle and i believe that information to them is key to this. There are many times where all of us will purchase things from china that may well be available here in the uk but we dont understand that Carbon Footprint in that item. With the Prime Minister agree that information about how carbon is held within items that we purchase is important for consumers . My honourable friend, they have a fantastic understanding of what cornwall is doing to cut carbon in the amazing projects there and were also making sure that in education, kids do understand the in built carbon cost of the goods they buy. At present, the uk doesnt yet have measures in place to reach Carbon Neutral by the year 2050. Indeed, last week the chancellor and shouldnt Climate Change once in the budget so surely the uk should be offering leadership in this area by putting in place a comprehensive Green New Deal that combines economic and Social Policy alongside the measures to combat Climate Change.

This government has helped to cut the uks emissions of Carbon Dioxide by almost half on a 1990 levels, it is an astonishing thing to have done. We have the most ambitious nationally determined contribution of any country in the eu, 78 by 2035 and we are doing it through other measures that he knows. Has he not heard about what were going to do on a zero emission vehicles or what we are doing on our Power Emissions . I think it needs to look at what is happening. Yes, of course there is more to do. As for green bonds, we issued one the other day and got £10 billion out of it, so if he would just keep up figs day and got £10 billion out of it, so if he would just keep up so if he would ust keep up as well as cars, so if he would ust keep up as well as cars.

Companies like Westfield In Dudley South developing products that can succeed, that can thrive and help us decarbonise but too often, the regular tree framework lags behind the innovation. Will the Prime Ministers work with ministers and our International Partners to develop International Type approval standards so that these products can succeed, that we can decarbonise transport on an urban level as well as personal cars .

First kingdom in terms of Sustainable Aviation technology . Kingdom in terms of Sustainable Aviation technology . First of all on livestock emissions, Aviation Technology . First of all on livestock emissions, my Aviation Technology . First of all on | livestock emissions, my honourable friend is slowly right that methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. It does degrade white fast, methane, so it is not as bad as Carbon Dioxide in some ways but we do need to cut Methane Emissions. We are committed to doing it by 30 . Agriculture is a particular difficult problem but there are ways of doing it and without moving away from livestock farming, there are things you can do with breeding and other techniques to reduce Methane Emissions and we are certainly looking at that. The remise are certainly looking at that. The premise is are certainly looking at that. Iia premise is right to are certainly looking at that. Iia premise is right to tell are certainly looking at that. ii2 premise is right to tell the House Andindeed Premise is right to tell the house and indeed the world how exciting these premises are on Methane Reduction but he will also recall that 12 years ago when the rich countries committed to 100 dollars every year transfer to the poor, there was no mechanism for measuring progress in the world failed. Can he tell us what the legacy will be, particularly around deforestation, so that there is a proper mechanism that holds to account the indonesians, wherever it may be . Yes, he makes an incredibly important point and there are two ways of holding the governments to account, whether it is china, brazil, russia or anywhere or ourselves. The first is that it is not only the governments that have signed up, but also the big commodities corporations, the big cargo or whoever, they have agreed no longer to use products that are sourced as a result of deforestation, and consumers will hold them to account as well as governments for what they do. Secondly, the Financial Institutions with chileans, barclays, aviva, many Financial Institutions around the world, have agreed they will not finance projects that depend upon deforestation. Again, everybody will hold them to account for what they do and if they cheat and if they invest in deforestation, they will suffer because as i said earlier on to the house, what is changing now is the power of the consumer, the power of the voters, the power of the world that once their governments to do the right thing now. ~ , ~ ,. , now.

I want| to thank him for the update on the g20 summitand to thank him for the update on the g20 summit and cop26 and also listening very carefully to the suggestions from these benches. I am sure he, too, will be very disappointed that the g20 could not agree on an end date for Domestic Fossilfuel agree on an end date for domestic Fossil Fuel Use agree on an end date for Domestic Fossilfuel use so will agree on an end date for domestic Fossil Fuel Use so will he be brave, Show Leadership and set an end date for the extraction and domestic use of all fossil fuels for the extraction and domestic use of all fossilfuels in for the extraction and domestic use of all fossil fuels in the uk . For the extraction and domestic use of all fossilfuels in the uk . We of all fossil fuels in the uk . We will have no of all fossil fuels in the uk . We will have no fossil fuels in our Power Generation at all from 2035. 6 of global gdp is spent on Fossil Fuels Subsidies which is destroying our planet and china spends more on fossilfuels subsidies our planet and china spends more on Fossil Fuels Subsidies than united states, russia and europe, the eu, combined, so will he take leadership on reducing fossilfuels combined, so will he take leadership on reducing Fossil Fuels Subsidies but in particular, Support Carbon Border Taxes being promoted by the eu. So we dont have a situation where uk steel, for instance, made in wales, is being displaced by chinese steel made from coal which is twice the Carbon Footprint, so we can protect localjobs and save the planet through greener trade. I think that our Steel Companies have done a greatjob in trying to reduce their Carbon Footprint and it is extremely hard if you are a steel corporation, they are one of the biggest emitters that we have. We have got to move towards zero carbon steel making whilst keeping a steel making whilst keeping a steel making industry in this country. I think the measures that he describes are certainly worth considering. The he describes are certainly worth considering considering. The un Secretary General has considering. The un Secretary General has said considering. The un Secretary General has said it considering. The un Secretary General has said it will considering. The un Secretary General has said it will be considering. The un secretary| general has said it will be very difficult to secure the commitment needed for the 1. 5 degrees goal and in relation to new fossil fuel explanations, we dont need more oil and gas, will the Prime Minster set out what engagement his government is having with the oil and Gas Industries to support them in their effort to decarbonise sustainable . Thank you. We talk the whole time to the Oil And Gas Industry, which has a great history, a proud industry in this country. I believe the future of the Oil And Gas Industry for hydrocarbons is moving beyond the old combustion approach and towards extraction of clean power. That is the way we should be going. It does feel like we the way we should be going. It does feel like we are the way we should be going. It does feel like we are in the way we should be going. It does feel like we are in last the way we should be going. It does feel like we are in last chance feel like we are in last chance saloon if we are going to make an impact on limiting the effect on Climate Change. Does the Prime Minister share my disappointment that china and india have failed to match other countries commitments to reach net zero by a certain time and putting their commitment 20 years later . We need to get a commitment from then on that. We later . We need to get a commitment from then on that. From then on that. We will continue to ush from then on that. We will continue to push on from then on that. We will continue to push on the from then on that. We will continue to push on the net from then on that. We will continue to push on the net zero from then on that. We will continue to push on the net zero dates. From then on that. We will continue to push on the net zero dates. I to push on the net zero dates. I frankly agree with the characterisation he makes of those targets. I think we need to look also at what both those countries are saying about what they will do pre 2030. As the right honourable lady opposite said, that is the key thing that i think we really need to focus on. The indians had made a big commitment on decarbonising their power system by 2030. You have had but we have already said in this house about the chinese commitment to peak output foresee out in 2030 or before. The question is, how long before . Both those countries have made substantial progress. It is obviously not yet enough. In a statement. Obviously not yet enough. In a statement, the obviously not yet enough. In a statement, the prime obviously not yet enough. Ii 2 statement, the Prime Minister said, we have the technology to do what is necessary. All that remains in question is our resolve. With that in mind when why doesnt the British Government favour the model used to things like this swansea tidal lagoon . I5 things like this swansea tidal la.

If they can produce plans that show a more economical way of doing it i would be only too happy to study them. Earlier today cop26, young people from a group tried to the chancellor directly about why he continues to subsidise fossil fuels and the Fossil Fuel Industry so deeply. Instead engaging with them, they could be the first generation to die from Climate Change and not old age, he banned them from his talk. I wonder whether the Prime Minister and the chancellor could instead engage with that generation can engage with that generation can engage with that generation can engage with young people and move on towards a Green New Deal to meet our climate obligations. Climate obligations. Madam deputy seaker, it climate obligations. Madam deputy speaker. It is climate obligations. Madam deputy speaker, it is precisely climate obligations. Madam deputy speaker, it is precisely for climate obligations. Madam deputy speaker, it is precisely for the speaker, it is precisely for the sake of that generation, with whom by the way every member of this government engage the whole time on this issue, it is precisely for the sakes we are doing this. I think i am starting to think we can fix this. I was gloomy while back but i think we have the technology, we certainly have the finance and a growing package of solutions to bring to bear. I think it will be a massive benefit to Young Children growing up in this country. One thing i worry about is young people in this country are anti very badly affected by the prospect of serious Climate Change. It is something that preys on their minds. We need to lift that burden from them and show them there is a more hopeful alternative. I really think that is starting to appear. I alternative. I really think that is starting to appear. Starting to appear. I thank the Prime Minister starting to appear. I thank the Prime Minister for starting to appear. I thank the Prime Minister for his starting to appear. I thank the i Prime Minister for his statement starting to appear. I thank the Prime Minister for his statement and we now can ten minute rule motion. We are going to go back to another of the debates in the commons this lunchtime because labour has accused the prime of double standards after Downing Street backed attempt by backbenchers to prevent conservative mps from being suspended. They recommended that patterssen be suspended for 30 days for breaking lobbying rules. He has denied any wrongdoing. The Prime Minister said ministers could support an amendment to reform the disciplinary process which was challenged by the Deputy Leader of the labour party. Let which was challenged by the Deputy Leader of the labour party. Leader of the labour party. Let me start with something leader of the labour party. Let me start with something on leader of the labour party. Let me start with something on which leader of the labour party. Let me | start with something on which there should be agreement across all sides. The independent standards process found that a member broke the rules on paid lobbying. Surely the Prime Minister accepts that this is and should be a serious offence. Yeah. Hear, hear. Yet we have seen reports that he will respond by scrapping the independent process and overturning its verdict. Shame shameful. In no other profession in our country could someone be found guilty by an independent process and just have their mates vote them back into the job. Surely, surely the Prime Minister and his government are not going to do that today . Hear, hear no, mr speaker, of course were not going to do that because paid lobbying, mr speaker, paid advocacy in this house is wrong, and let me make absolutely no bones about that, and members. Members who are found guilty of that should apologise and pay the necessary penalties, mr speaker, but that is not the issue in this case or in this vote that is before us today. It is not. The issue in this case. Clamour. The issue in this case, which involved a serious family tragedy, mr speaker, is whether a member of this house had a fair opportunity to make representations in this case. And or whether as a matter of naturaljustice our procedures in this house allow for proper appeal, mr speaker, and that, i think, is something that should be of interest to members across this house, mr speaker, and should be approached properly in a spirit of moderation and compassion, mr speaker. Hear, hear angela rayner. Mr speaker, let me put this to him simply. If it was a police officer, a teacher, a doctor, we would expect. We would expect the independent process to be followed and not changed after the verdict. Its one rule for them, and one rule for the rest of us im joined by tim durrant, associate director at the Institute For Government think tank. Good afternoon. I wonder if you can wind back a little bit here and just get you to explain what has happened and what is the issue. So the way that the commons kind of police is the behaviour of its members as independent commissioner who is not a Member Of Parliament and she, her job is to look at the code of conduct that mps are supposed to abide by and if she believes that a member is broken that code or someone else makes a complaint about an npc can investigate them. In this case investigated 0wen Paterson Needs to be a Government Minister and are still a conservative mp, and found he had broken the code in various ways. She wrote her report for the committee on standards which is a committee made up of mps and non mp members and they looked patterson as well and found that he had indeed, hisjudgment was patterson as well and found that he had indeed, his judgment was that he had indeed, his judgment was that he had indeed, his judgment was that he had indeed broken the code and they recommended he be suspended for the commons for 30 days and the vote today was initially going to be around that report and agree with that recommendation but also what the Conservative Party had done and the Conservative Party had done and the government in supporting that is introduced an amendment so that rather than 0wen Paterson Being suspended the commons and set up a new committee to look at this whole process of how standards are enforced and decide whether or not a different arrangement needs to be brought in so they can be different ways mps accused of breaking the code to put their case forward. Ear; code to put their case forward. Say is wron code to put their case forward. Say is wrong with the present system . Their view is that naturaljustice has been used quite a lot. That current arrangement did not permit naturaljustice and what they mean is around the right of appeal that once the commission has made an investigation and delivered her findings there is no formal next stage of appeal for findings there is no formal next stage of appealfor mps. Findings there is no formal next stage of appeal for mps. This findings there is no formal next stage of appealfor mps. This is not a judicial or legal process. It is set up by the commons and in this case with a serious set of allegations against 0wen Paterson The Committee looks at them in detail so there are multiple stages to this but there is nothing formally called an appeal stage. It is politically tricky for the government given that this move to reform coincides with this accusation and finding against one of their own. Accusation and finding against one of their own accusation and finding against one of their own. , , of their own. Absolutely. Number ten said this is not of their own. Absolutely. Number ten said this is not about of their own. Absolutely. Number ten said this is not about one of their own. Absolutely. Number ten said this is not about one case of their own. Absolutely. Number ten said this is not about one case but. Said this is not about one case but the fact theyd can swung in behind this amendment suggests that they do want to deal with it now in the context of this one case that does raise questions about whether it is about improving the system all about supporting a conservative backbencher. The other important piece of context is that earlier this week the independent Committee Published a report looking at how standards across public Life In General so parliament are enforced and one of the main themes in their report was about the need for greater independence of the regulators and watchdogs who uphold standards and i think this debate showing where there is an independent commissioner actually the government still has a lot of control and a lot of ability to change the system if it delivers answers that they dont like. Mp5 answers that they dont like. Mps are about to answers that they dont like. Mps are about to debate the motion and the amendment and we will get a result this afternoon. Result this afternoon. Yes. Later this afternoon. Result this afternoon. Yes. Later this afternoon. The result this afternoon. Yes. Later this afternoon. The government| result this afternoon. Yes. Later i this afternoon. The government is within its mps to support the amendment and to overturn his suspension and therefore we expect it will pass. The question then is what does this new committee think the alternative arrangements should be and i believe they will be reporting on the new year so this will run on for a few months again. Thank you so much. After a mild 0ctober after a mild October The 1st few days of november brought a real cool down. We find ourselves in the grip of this northerly wind feeling cold air in our direction. It is also bringing showers. Those showers over the last few hours have really focused on across the western side of wales, down to cornwall. This line of showers will persist to the next 2a hours and some are the midlands affecting North East England and more generally around these north facing coast of scotland and Northern Ireland we are seeing some showers which will continue through the afternoon. Some spells of sunshine and are generally a lot of sunshine and are generally a lot of cloud across parts of england and quite a chilly feel. 9 13. The Receiving End tonight showers continue to feed down from the north particularly affecting coastal areas. Some showers i went we have a high ground. Where we do see clear skies it will be another chilly night. The this time are likely to be across the northern half of the uk and we start tomorrow morning with A Touch Of Frost in places but some good spells of sunshine and, if anything, fewer showers than we had today. Summer west wales on the far south west of england. Some affecting Eastern England but then more in the way of dry weather. Some of sunshine but a really chilly feel. 7 11 and more cloud later with outbreaks of rain. That is the kind of weather that takes us into friday because around the top of this area of High Pressure we are going to bringing in a feed of cloud. The best chance of any sunshine across eastern areas. Patchy rain particularly in North West Scotland but with wins coming in from the west a different feel to the weather. 12 or 13 degrees and a much milder night on friday night. A lot of cloud around many fireworks displays. As you move into the weekend we keep this westerly wind which will continue to feed milder air are ways that things will feel different by saturday. Much of england and wales will be largely dry and the best of any suntans in the east amanda vane will sink its way southwards with any burst at times and it will be quite windy. But 12, 13, 1a degrees. Feeling much milder and we stick with that milder feel feeling much milder and we stick with that milderfeel for feeling much milder and we stick with that milder feel for most of us into sunday with more in the way of dry weather by then. This is bbc news. Im jane hill. The headlines. The chancellor rishi sunak promises to � rewire the Entire Globalfinancial System in order to cut Carbon Emissions. We are going to move towards making it mandatory for firms to publish a clear, deliverable plan setting out how they will decarbonise and transition to net zero, with an independent task force to define what is required. The row over tory mp 0wen Paterson who broke the rules on lobbying his supporters will be allowed to debate a change in those rules. Well bring you the latest from that debate in the commons. It is getting under wayjust about now. They
