Televised Debate On Climate Change

EDM number 2131 in 2008-09, proposed by Colin Challen on 21/10/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting and Climate change.

That this House notes that in recent general elections, climate change has not featured as a high profile issue; further notes that recent opinion polls show a considerable level of public scepticism on the subject; therefore calls on the leaders of the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties to hold a national televised debate devoted solely to climate change; and further calls on national television stations to join in this demand.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
