The below Parliamentary question was asked by Barry Gardiner on 2016-06-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Answer of 7 June 2016 to Question 38382, whether the European Commission’s proposal of 10 June 2016 on ratification of the Paris Agreement has changed the Government’s timeline for UK ratification of that agreement.

The UK is committed to ratifying the Paris Agreement together with the EU and Member States as soon as possible. The Commission’s proposal for a Council Decision on the EU’s ratification of the Paris Agreement is therefore a positive step forward.
