Australia: Climate Change

Andrew Rosindell
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions she has had with the Australian Government on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

Mr. McCartney
My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary discussed climate change and greenhouse gas emissions with Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer at the first Australia/UK Ministerial Meeting held at Lancaster House on 18 December 2006. We continue to have regular dialogue with Australia on climate change issues. Most recently, Sir Nicholas Stern spoke about climate change with Australian Prime Minister John Howard during his visit to Canberra in March.
