"Mr President, unlike the previous colleague who spoke, I do not own my own power station, but I do own a very old house – an 1840s house – and it is a wonderful house. If you are ever in London, you are most welcome to drop in for a cup of tea. But what I would like to say is that, whatever one feels about climate change, I think we can all be in favour of the need for energy efficiency.
You may not realise this, but I represent London, the greatest city in the world, capital of the greatest country in the world. We have a number of office blocks and buildings that leave their lights on at night. That is a sign of success, but they should be aware of energy efficiency.
We also have a number of establishments for the hospitality industry – restaurants and pubs – and recently, due to smoking bans, they have been forced to use patio heaters to accommodate their customers who wish to sit outside and have a cigarette. What worries me is that it is a completely disproportionate measure to ban the use of these patio heaters, which contribute less than 0.1% to CO
emissions. So let us get this in context. We all need better energy efficiency, but let us have solutions that are workable."@en1
