The following are the Conservative members of the Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee, together with some quotes that should help readers place them. Should we assume that no further scrutiny of this area of policy is intended?
Antoinette Sandbach:
“Biodiversity loss and climate change are clearly happening, and we need to ensure that policy making in this area is science-based and practically focused, rather than endless legislation going through the Welsh Assembly, which sounds good but achieves less than proper and focused policymaking would.”
Glyn Davies
The argument about the fact of climate change has gone—there is a significant amount of climate change. There will always be a debate about the extent to which that is a natural phenomenon—because there is always a natural phenomenon with climate change—and the degree to which that is caused by man.
James Heappey
am entirely unconvinced over the need for wind power and think that the Government made a mistake in reaching quickly for wind when trying to set a 'Green' agenda.
I am really excited about the opportunities that exist for us to harness the power of the tides in the Severn Estuary and the Bristol Channel.
in uncomplicated geology like that in Lancashire or the Bowland Basin, the process of fracking is well understood and the industry can be easily regulated. The opportunities for the economy in those areas are huge and so is the security that the gas supply would bring.However in the Mendips the situation is very different.
Dan Poulter
(Not much to go on, but my guess is green.)
Julian Sturdy
Julian has today delivered a message for Climate Week 2013 and hailed the contribution of green businesses to the local economy in Yorkshire.
